#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]):
IMHO the discussion in this ticket became too diverged. Some people (e.g. Bryan Kadzban) try to formulate the problem (with words other than "jhalfs broke") and the goals. Other people (e.g., LydianKnight) present solutions to their own understanding of the problem, which may or may not be the same as, e.g., my understanding. My idea is that the problem of configuring the network interfaces (i.e., getting the correct udev rules and writing the corresponding interface configuration files) '''has multiple solutions'''. One of them is to defer the configuration until the reboot (that's simple but doesn't work with the important case of remote installations), another is to write udev rules by hand or by script or even by copying from a suitable host (this is a bit more complicated to get right, and is overkill in most of cases). The book should not present only one of the methods (that would not be educational enough), but must present the goal, include an overview of '''some''' available methods to reach it, and provide some means to verify that it has been in fact reached. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2057#comment:31> 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
