I was just doing SU and then running “setup� like I remember from my cobalt days, and possibly even BQ. Hard to say since its been years since I last deployed one of these boxes when it last worked.
Ah, this could be the issue. When you complete the install from the CD it will prompt you to reboot once the install is completed.
Then once the system fully boots it gets to a login prompt and asks you to log in as "root" and "blueonyx". Once you do, it will launch into the initial interactive setup script to set IP, gateway, netmask and a DNS server. Fill all that in and it will load it to the correct places and then restart network when it's done to load in the new config. Once that's complete it will give you the prompt to choose if you'd like to immediately fetch the latest YUM update or not. (I generally choose to do that).
You’d think that if “setup� no longer works properly as Chris suggested, it shouldn’t be there. Or if it needed to be around it would cause the proper setup program to kick off.
Some of the legacy things are there because they're hidden in the background of other functions or script calls. Other times it's because they're a part of the CentOS distribution that can't be easily trimmed away without causing other problems. Generally though, so long as you stick with using the correct scripts you shouldn't run into trouble. Actually, this is the first time I've read of this particular issue!
