You wrote: Running Red Hat 8.0 (2.4.18-14) on an old Acer I have keyed ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 to set my box's ip address for my small LAN. What additional command should I use to write that address permanently, so that I do not have to ifconfig each time I restart? I have read and reread O'Reilly's Running Linux and Learning Red Hat Linux; is there no process whereby the settings are written to the correct files for startup, or must I (using vi, for example) edit certain files myself?
Bill Stanard *********************************************** I personally prefer editing a startup script but Redhat seems to do these things with GUI tools. Have a look here http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/ Especially the section III cheers James ] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
