As a thumb rule, any system providing a service (e.g. email) ought to
be configured with static IP.  With email, you also need a DNS with a
MX resolving to the hostname/IP number of your email server.

I use postfix, so cannot comment about exim.  In postfix, to the best
of my understanding, there is no provision to get network parameter
information from dhclient files.  I suspect the same is the case with
exim.

Although it sounds like a F18 issue, the under lying issue (IMO) is
that it the dd of ISO image to a pen drive device does not work  with
the RHEL/CentOS installer.

Whereas with other Linux distros like the Debian / openSUSE / Ubuntu
it is possible to dd the ISO images on to a pen drive, boot from it
and complete the installation [1].

The OP is trying to use a tool which supposedly makes a
bootable/installable USB device.

Search keywords "centos create usb boot disk" throws up helpful links.
  The manual methods may the way to go to achieve the objective.

[c] < http://thenubbyadmin.com/2012/05/04/how-to-make-a-bootable-c[..] >

All of the above essentially say the same thing.

@OP please try the method outlined in above links and report your
success/failure.

[1] This is my preferred method, it eliminates need for an optical
media and burning the ISO image to a DVD.   FWIW, I have dd'd the
CentOS ISO image to a pen drive.  In the installer, choose one of the
'network' methods (http / ftp / nfs / cifs etc).  Also make sure the
CentOS DVD content is available over the network via the chosen method
(my choice http).

It is a similar experience with Intel, Dell, ...
The OS is not on their compatible list?  Sorry can't help you, never
mind it is a hardware problem.

Whenever there is hardware problem, I play dumb and 'do' whatever they
ask me to do and report failure for each operation. Eventually I get a
RMA number.

<anecdote>
I run a small time consulting operation and this is the kind of flack
I get.   It is just not Linux.
On an Intel S3000AH board, certified for Windows 2003 server, I was
told that Windows 2008 server was not supported.
