Peter, Did you solve your problem? 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. > > > How can I install ScientificLinux? > > > Or is there another RedHat alike which lets me configure a static IP (CentOS doesn’t either, by the way). > > > Thanks > Peter > > > > > > — > Dr. Peter Boy > Universität Bremen > Mary-Sommerville-Str. 5 > 28359 Bremen > Germany > > [log in to unmask] > www.zes.uni-bremen.de > > ———————————————— > > Are you looking for a web content management system for scientific research organizations? > Have a look at http://www.scientificcms.org > -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 828-862-5554 www.pari.edu
