Hi, 

I resolved my problem by downloading a full dvd iso and performing a local install (i.e. I stored the iso locally on the host computer) That way I get the install programs running and could configure a static IP configuration.

Later I found out, that the VM could not contact the internet world through the bridge (br0) on the host for some reason, I couldn’t resolve yet.  Never had this type of problem before, and the other VM’s running on that host have no issue with internet access. 


Best
Peter

I'm going to be doing an http install of CentOS 7 tomorrow on a subnet with no DHCP server, and I'll see where configuring the static IP is in the installer (I'm pretty sure I know where it is; there is a configure button on the Network & Hostname page of the installer, and configuring a static IP is done there).

There is no dhcp available in that environment (Hetzner root server in Germany). With previous installation I remember the installation started nevertheless and I could configure a static IP configuration as part of the installation process. Unfortunately, I didn’t found any opportunity to define a static IP prior to the installation process aborting.
