Automatic Network Configuration

As proclaimed in the Quick Arch Linux Install wiki page:

For the net install, you need to configure the network. If you have a DHCP server connected to your computer with an Ethernet cord, odds are the auto-configure will work automatically.

Does the Arch Linux installation still automatically configure my network connection, by the means referenced in the quote? I read in some places that it no longer does, but would like to make sure.

It did configure the network for me. I've used the 2010.05 'release'.

If it doesn't work: Configure Network (netinstall)

Re: Automatic Network Configuration

Alright... I installed Arch Linux onto a separate partition than my working Xubuntu 10.04 installation. When I rebooted, I wasn't able to boot into Arch Linux. I could get into GRUB, but when looking through the operating systems, it only showed Xubuntu. What could I have done wrong?

Re: Automatic Network Configuration

Did you add your Arch install to your existing GRUB install? Have a look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … Bootloader
