Good point, do you recall that if you selected "Save to Bugzilla" if
it prompted to enable networking? That would be my expectation, if
it doesn't ... that's definitely bugzilla worthy.
i have to admit, i don't remember at this point. what i do remember
is a (sort of) similar issue when the install process demanded that i
have a network interface before i needed one, and hung waiting for it,
and there was no way of telling it to just give up and move on.
vaguely, i might have had the same problem at that bugzilla point.
even though i wasn't on the net, i asked to file that bug with
bugzilla, a dialog box popped up asking me to configure eth0, at which
point i *believe* i wanted to just say, "never mind, i'm not on the
net, forget the whole thing," but i think it was too late and i wasn't
allowed to back out.
i'm typing this from memory, so i might be wrong. so the question
is, if you opt to file a bugzilla report, and you're asked to
configure eth0 to permit that, is there a way to change your mind?
