[Bug 993551] [NEW] Server installer skips manual networking configuration questions

[Aaron J. Zirbes]

Public bug reported:

When installing Ubuntu Server 12.04 64bit onto a fresh VMware ESXi
virtual instance, and choosing to configure the network manually, after
entering the IP address, the setup process skips the routing, subnet,
and DNS server information.

I've tried this three times now. It appears that there is a DHCP service
running in the background trying to overwrite the settings as I wrote
them as the options would flash by but only briefly.
