Hello.

It appears that the "graphical" installer doesn't offer an option to
manually configure a static IP address.

Also, it gets stuck in a loop when no DHCP server is available.

I am using the 1.0.1 installation ISO for x86_64.  I'm installing into
a virtual machine (Microsoft HyperV).

Cheers,

You mean for networking _during_ the installation, right?

I agree it would be nice to have, though I consider it more of a “wish
list” item.

Thanks for your feedback,
Ludo’.
