Hi guys,
It seems the /etc/rc.d/init.d/network script has changed from the
version I've been using (an older version of lfs-bootscripts mind you,
which may explain it all).
In this "old" version I created a directory
/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0 and in that directory
placed a number of files that specified which IP addresses to add to an
interface, which static routes to add, and more.
The script on the livecd expects ifconfig.eth0 to be a file so I can
only add a single IP address or route per interface now?
Again I do realize that should be alright for this type of CD and if I
need more IP addresses and routes added, I'll just have to do this
manually, or add a different network script and override it like I'm
doing with a number of other files.
However, would it be a bad idea to make that the default network script
on the livecd? It doesn't add any "bloat," it's just a slightly
different script that can accept directories called ifconfig.eth0 and
use files underneath it if ifconfig.eth0 itself is not a file.
That allows for both simple and more complex network setups.
