Thanks Tobias & others for your support.
I really appreciate !!
Once networking step fails , installation cannot continue...(Since
packages download is impossible")
Focus on address resolution is just to mention that network card works ,
has an IP & some basic services are working?
I will try the hack with # touch /tmp/installer-assume-online
Thanks for sharing....
If it does not work I will try to another ISO , no problem..
Thanks again for your help
regards
