OK, a lot of digging and I have found an answer(?)
*ifconfig -a*
I know it's an outdated command, but this gives all the info on the
interface so you can copy the MAC address
Then make a new file
*nano /etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.link*It should contain:
*[Match]MACAddress=<The MAC address of the interface>[Link]Name-eth0*
Now rebooting during install should sort it, or maybe have to redo the
procedure afterwards
