[Erp5-users] upgrade from 1.0rc3 to 1.0rc8 formatted HD?

[david atlan (PHENO)]

Dear Kevin,

it worked fine with deleting the content of /mnt/erp5_cd and ERP5 starts.

I have a little problem with the configuration of the Internet connection:  
the test machine is connected to a router with DHCP server, but it doesn't  
take the IP address? Is there anything I can try?

thanks

David
