OK, I didn't read the persistent net rules at that stage, so for that part your comment is tru. I obviously misunderstood what the bash script would do on a host using a new-style name. The note also talks of running ip link after booting - by that stage I will have already seen the name in the error messages, because I had created ifconfig.etho. Funnily, I have not needed to add net.fnames=0 for a long while (building from LFS) because everything just worked. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
