yes i configured dhclient properly (at least i think so) it runs ok just cant fetch the needed data (theres a long delay when it's run before it gives up). when i run ip addr add 127.0.0.1/8 label lo dev lo i get "Cannot find device "lo"" and ip link set eth0 up doesnt result in any message. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
