should probably try this method even though occasionally it does
not work.
+ Ask for fixed IP address and gateway
+ In this mode the live CD will ask you for a fixed IP address and
+ gateway address, and will configure your chosen interface with
+ these.
+
Configure from the shell
In this mode you will be dropped into a command shell and you
will need to issue the correct sequence of "/sbin/ifconfig"
where "AA.BB.CC.DD" is the IP address and "GG.HH.II.JJ" is the
gateway.
+ QEMU user network
+ This option configures the network for use inside a QEMU user
+ network
+ (<http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC30>). It
+ should only be used by developers.
+
Devices
This question lists out all local block devices (hard disk drives
and similar) and asks you to choose which will be sent to the remote
chance that they could coincide, which would leave a guest unable to
access the virtual network.
+ Compression
+ Choose whether to enable or disable compression on disk images as
+ they are copied across the network.
+
+ If enabled, the "-C" option is passed to ssh(1). On fast networks
+ this can sometimes be slower.
+
+ NB: The disk image is still stored uncompressed on the remote host
+ however this option is set.

Verify and proceed
In this step you are asked to verify the settings above. If any are
incorrect, use the *Back* button to navigate back to the setting. If
Some (LV ("VolGroup00", "LogVol00"))
"network"
- Set this to the choice for network setup. Use either "Some Auto" or
- "Some Shell" for auto-configuration or shell (manual) configuration
- respectively.
+ Set this to the choice for network setup. Use one of:
+
+ "Some Auto"
+ for auto-configuration
+
+ "Some Static"
+ to specify the interface, address, netmask and gateway
+ statically
+
+ "Some Shell"
+ to launch a shell
+
+ "Some QEMUUserNet"
+ to use a QEMU user network (developers only)
+
+ "static_network_config"
+ This setting only applies if "network" is set to "Some Static", in
+ which case you should set this to the static network settings, a
+ tuple of (interface, address, netmask, gateway, nameserver):
+
+ Some ("eth0", "192.168.2.5", "255.255.255.0", "192.168.2.1", "192.168.2.1")
"hypervisor"
Set this to the choice of hypervisor or virtualization system. The
uniqueness so there is a very small chance that they could coincide,
which would leave a guest unable to access the virtual network.
+ "compression"
+ Set this to "Some false" to disable compression, or "Some true" to
+ enable compression, or "None" to ask the user.

Rebuilding a custom ISO is time-consuming. You can make a "quick"
developer ISO by updating an existing ISO image with a new custom
