Running void-installer, one of the early items is 'Network'. I dutifully
set up the network (in the install I just did, I set up the ethernet
interface with a static IP address). The next step in the install relates
to where the installation files are coming from (I've forgotten the exact
wording in the menu). When you select that, you have two options: local and
network. If you select 'network' it asks you to set up the network again.
As an experiment, as this point I set it up to use dhcp, to see if the
second setup over-rode the first. It does, as evidenced by the system
coming up post-install with an assigned IP address, rather than the static
address I'd previously specified. What is going on here? On the face of it,
asking twice for the network setup makes no sense and I have not yet found
any documentation explaining what the installer thinks it's doing. Is there
a sensible rationale for this or is it a bug?
