>Description:

[FDIV014]

When doing FTP download, the installation procedire asks for the machines
domain name, system name, IP number and other information prior to
downloading modules.

After downloads are complete, the installation procedure offers to finish
configuring TCP/IP settings.  If you select this, it asks the same
questions again and has discarded the answers from the previous questions.

(There is a related problem [FDIV015] where many of these values
are lost anyway when the system reboots normally at the end of the
install.)


>How-To-Repeat:

Install the system and select FTP download as the method.  After
installation is complete and you are offered the chance to finish
configuring TCP/IP, select that choice.  Note that it has forgotten
the information you gave it earlier.


>Fix:
	
I suggest that the second set of questions not even be offered as
a choice if the information was provided prior to downloads.

Alternatively, all the boxes in the second pass should have the
answers from the first configuration session as the defaults.
