Bug Description
When installing Ubuntu it hangs on the screen "testing network repositories". I
suspect it's because our firewall blocks addresses obtained by DHCP. In some way
there should be a possibillity to assign IP-address if the installation is
dependent on access to the Internet.

At the screen where hostname is asked for, change to another console and change
IP-address with ifconfig eth0 inet "IP-address" mask "netmask" the installation
will then work :-)
