My definition of a "minimalist network" is exclusively an enumeration of

From my reading, primarily Wikipedia, I believe what I'm aiming at would be
classed as either PPPoE or PPPoEoE. Although a Debian Jessie user I have
found some LFS documentation very helpful due its point of view.
With that in mind, I am currently reading
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable-systemd/ (Jessie uses
systemd} and I am searching archives at
https://www.google.com/search?q=ethernet+site:linuxfromscratch.org&domains=linuxfromscratch.org
.
Any further reading suggestions?
TIA
Try using a network crossover cable between the two computers. Then set
one computer up as a server (running DHCP) and the other as a client.

The HOWTO is a little dated (like my hardware), but the approach is
valid. Some translation into modern software tools is required.
Best of luck!

Thank you.
I have a Lenovo T43 and a T430 each supporting Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet. I've been told that a crossover
cable would not be required as it would be with older hardware.
I browsed the link briefly. If it doesn't solve my problem itself
it appears that it will get me asking the "right" questions. The
"right" questions lead to useful questions;/
