Cauldron boot.iso looks for wireless

[laidlaws]

Trying to install Cauldron from the boot.iso. Installation proceeds as far as trying to connect to the outside world, then stops. The log message is that there is no wireless connection to eth0. The installer shouldn't be looking for one.

Hi

try again, but this time specify the internet connection as "wired" in the configuration window if you have a hard wired connection.
If you have wireless, at the configuration window, you need to supply name and password for wifi network.

installer seems set to prefer wireless [i.e. laptop ] if available.

Is that wpa2 encrypted as Mageia don't have support to it.

To be clear, only the installer has no support for anything above WEP.

To be even more clear stage1 text mode have wep encryption support only,stage2 graphical installer support all encryptions like wpa2/psk in classical dvd and dual arch.

I was installing from the boot.iso only because every time I started with Mga5 Dual, I finished up with Official. Later I tried again with Dual, and the procedure on the Wiki worked faultlessly. I must have been trying at at a difficult time.

That made me think:

Is it possible to create a network install boot .iso with stage 2 capeable of all encryptions included?

Good for laptops that do not have wired eth. WEP is not used much nowadays i think

Downside is that new boot.isos need be made if there are updates/fixes to the stage 2.
