[Bug 879605] Re: Specifying static network configuration in kickseed no longer works

[Tobias Fernandez]

I can confirm this. Especially hostname configuration is being ignored,
too. So if there is no successful reverse DNS lookup, the hostname
remains "kickseed" after reboot.

Title:
  Specifying static network configuration in kickseed no longer works

Status in “kickseed” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In previous Ubuntu versions you used to be able to start the network
  installation using DHCP,  and then switch over to  a static network
  configuration in your kickstart file, with a line like:

  ==
  network --bootproto=static --ip=1.2.3.4 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=1.2.3.1 --nameserver=8.8.8.8 --hostname=dhcpunit
  ==

  However in Ubuntu 11.10 that does not seem to work, and it is still
  using DHCP after installation.
