Hi, I have just installed LFS for the first time and I'm able to boot into it without any problems at all. However, I am trying to connected it to the internet, through my new broadband connection, but I'm a bit out of my depth with it, and can't get it to work. I have installed the following programs that I thought would get it to work:
DHCP-3.0.5 (with the client only); Net-tools-1.60; Lynx-2.6.8 (without any of the optional dependencies); I have installed LFS 6.2, and I'm trying to work my way through BLFS 6.2.0. When I now boot into my LFS, I get: ... Starting kernel log daemon... Bring up the eth0 interface... Interface eth0 doesn't exist. ... I have been using my broadband connection on Windows XP for a few days now and it works fine. When looking at information about the connection, it says that it is "Assigned by DHCP" (which was why I used DHCP-3.0.5). The ethernet connection type is "VIA Compatable Fast Ethernet Adapt". My router is "ZyXEL P-600 series". Thanks for any help given, and if you need any more information, please ask. Also, although I have an understanding of how to use Linux, my understanding of how to configure and set up Linux is quite limited (which is why I decided to set up a LFS), so I apologise if I haven't done something which might be obvious. Steven
