Thanks for help and advices everybody !
Im rather new to astlinux and the mail list as well, so I dont know exactely how it work.
I have now got the cronjob working after reboot, but I guess that the way I do it might not be the most higly recomended one.
I first tried to edit a file in the spool area, but this did not work.
I then just made a cronfile and then I did like this I think "crontab /path/filename"
To get it activated I edited in a cal to it from the distro main configuration file, /etc/rc.conf I believe. (??)
So now the cron job actually starts during reboot, and my dynamic ip address is updatet on the dns server.
But .. I gues that editing the original config files in this way might not be the best way (even though it works just this time) and that it might be a better idea to use a "keydisk"
Is this the same as a USB stick ?
If this is the case, it might be a bether idea to make modifications on such a medium if possible. (??)
By the way, I cloned my flash drive before starting any modifications, so I can easily swap back to the original starting point. (I found the procedure for this in this mail list.)
I would be interested to know how to use a USB stick with the astlinux if there is a "easy way".
By the way I'm rather impressed about the Astlinux and when I could clone it over to another flash memory, and just swap them, it felt allmost like "magic".

Arne,
Have you configured a keydisk?
