[Bug 878478] Re: (All Ubuntu Variants) need reliable no-network install options.

[Dave Gilbert]

I did an 11.10 install with no networking; it did have a scary X next to
the 'internet connection' in the check list during the install, but let
me continue.

Seemed OK.

Title:
  (All Ubuntu Variants) need reliable no-network install options.

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installation from the live cd got stuck while the installer demanded a
  working network connection, and refused to accept the only network
  connection available. Installation from the alternate cd got stuck at
  the same point. I was able to skip the network connection, but the
  install has been very buggy.

  To show that this bug/oversight is near-universal in Ubuntu, this page
  assumes that users have reliable network connections:
  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download

  And while it's for 11.04, this page assumes the same, and matches the
  alternate installer: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/installation-
  guide/amd64/module-details.html
