Yes, but if your nameserver isnt on the same subnet / class C as 
the machine you're configuring, you'll get stuck in a loop - because
the default gateway hasnt been set yet.  This bug has been there since
the Sol8 beta release...  so I usually select "none/other" and setup
DNS manually after install.
