#2057: Udev-122 ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Debian doesn't have a way around it: they just: * use udev in their installer CD * let the user configure the network interfaces under the (random) names assigned by the installer * copy the resulting configuration and persistent rules to the installed system So they don't have a way to say "let eth1 be the same card that was named eth1 in my previous distro" (and that's, essentially, the goal of LFS). So my opinion is that we should write rules by hand, explaining the logic (it is not that hard), or, optionally, postpone the configuration until after the reboot (thus losing predictable names and the ability to do remote installations). -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2057#comment:22> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
