When do network modules get loaded and the network started (with DHCP, |
| 9 |
anyway) under this system, then? They weren't being recognized at all during |
| 10 |
my last attempt, and so no network modules were loaded and dhcpcd wasn't |
| 11 |
getting started, according to the messages I saw, which means that the user |
| 12 |
would have had to manually modprobe the network module and run net-setup |
| 13 |
before starting the install. I thought the idea was that, by that point, |
| 14 |
the network would be available if it could be detected... |
