Bug Description
When trying to install natty using netinstall and trying to do a mirror lookup/download packages it fails because the installer removes the search field in resolv.conf and we are using a shortname for the installation.
When setup starts and configures the network then it asks about a hostname. Then when you open the console and types cat /etc/resolv.conf it shows me correctly the search field with domains provided with the isc dhcp server. After entering a hostname the search line is stripped from resolv.conf and the mirror setup fails because we are using a shortname.
i can provide a minimal preseed file but the only thing i have configured is the disk setup.
I thought i found a bug report upstream but it is already closed and available in version 1.59 #362029 also available in the changelog. Maybe it is responsible for stripping the search field?
