Finally we change our network settings. Click on the Configure button next to Network - ethernet: Select Ethernet unless you're using something different: Select the network interface that you want to configure: We want to assign a static IP address to our network interface (remember, we're installing a server...), so we do not want to get an IP address using BOOTP or DHCP. Therefore we choose Manual configuration: Now enter the IP address, Netmask, and Gateway. Also enter the Host name (e.g. server1.example.com) and up to two DNS servers (e.g. 213.191.92.86 and 145.253.2.75): Do not allow users to start the connection. It's a server, and servers are always online (at least, they should be...). But select Start the connection at boot: Choose to start the network connection now: We've now made all necessary configurations, so we can leave the summary screen by clicking on Next: Now you can download the latest updates. Please note: this is optional. We are going to create a cron job which will update our system automatically, so you can select No here: The base installation is now finished, you can now remove the CD and reboot the system: Now on to the system configuration...
