When I first started into linux, around the time I first got @home cable, I scoured various resources and this was the only way I ever found to do this...still the only way I've ever seen to do this. With the exception of Coyote Linux, I've not seen or heard of a distro that offers a tidy way of setting up for @home'esque dhcpd calls. Even then, at setup, it asks if you need to supply a hostname, if you say yes and enter one...it plunks the hostname with a -h in front of the call to dhcpcd. Since your distro doesn't provide a tidy way of doing this, (IMO) any way that works for you is the proper way. -- Linux SxS [http://sxs.homeip.net/] _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
