Dear Girish Ji, Why do you always need to be so sarcastic ?
I love linux, and would even want to live with it, most of the time (99.99%) it gives me everything and even the community people are very good mannered and well cultured. There are many times that even a simple reply can be made into a top-class solution to the OP. When dont you answer from Linux point of view !!!! Do, turn in your charm face when you are replying. I always liked those sessions when we met for spam cheetah at chennai (Frontier & others). Looking to see your charming friendly reply (instead of hard-task-master type). regards, s.sivakumar chennai On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 6:22 PM, Girish Venkatachalam < [email protected]> wrote: > These are the problems you will never face in OpenBSD. > > Aana other than my throat getting dry nothing is going to change in LUG. ;) > > On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 5:53 PM, Balasubramaniam Natarajan > <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 11:33 AM, Arun Khan <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> > >> > The trouble is I did not pull out the nic card on this server and > replace > >> > the nic after installation for me to face this problem. > >> > >> I don't understand what you are saying above. > >> > > > > I ment that if I had replaced the NIC card on the server then it is okay > > for the OS to have named my nic card in that increasing order, however it > > this case all I did was to reboot the machine and eth0 became eth5. > > > > Please state your problem clearly.
