I am reopening this since configuring a static ip with Dapper Flight 6 live cd fails.

When the live cd starts, network-manager is automatically started. When I then configure the wired network interface via System -> Administration -> Networking dialog and click 'Ok', I see the nm-applet icon rotating and the interface is reset to dhcp.

This is not user friendly and it is unclear how to configure a static ip with the live cd.
