Not needed. I just learned about bridged. It puts my VM on the same network as my real machines. I know the information on that network already. I just edited the necessary network config files on the VM and I got connected and can ping any ip address or domain name I want. Now I just need to put some packages like wget in a cd image and attach it to the CD drive in the VM and pull them into the VM so I can compile and start building with the BLFS book. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
