I installed F12 alpha from the DVD and had the feeling that the
network is used during installation. So the installation was awful
slow.
For confirming this, I tried to install again after having
de-activated the LAN chip in the BIOS, and, indeeded, the
installation was cancelled (after the install partition had been
formatted).
Is there any option for installing F12 without accessing the LAN (I
have DSL with 1 Megabit/sec)?
this sounds suspiciously like an issue i ran into some time back
with a *virtual* installation on F11 -- the network was being used
despite there being no reason for it. maybe it's related, maybe not.
