[Bug 1816954] Re: Unable to show Info nor Set static IP during install

[Glyn M Burton]

Identical issue, namely you cannot progress without having a DHCP server
and configuring a manual IP crashes the installation process and it
starts over.  However, I have experienced this on both VMware and a
bare-metal HP ProLiant installations.

For reference (until such time an ISO is released with the above
supposed fix) use 18.04.1 to install the operating system and dist-
upgrade to 18.04.2 after the fact.

Unfortunately, 18.04.1 has been removed from
http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ leaving you finding a copy on more
questionable sites.
