I'm going to use LiveCD as a host system for another LFS build. Want to reformat the hard drives and go from scratch. My problem is in connecting to the Internet. I might add that this area is one of the weakest I have in building these LFS systems. I have, from pure rote, performed commands and created files. I know only that in my current system I can connect to the Internet. Don't ask me why. <BG>
What I want to do is to remaster LiveCD with my networking settings. I copied /etc/resolv.conf and the complet /etc/sysconfig/network-devices from my current system to the running LiveCd system. The only thing I didn't do was copy my /etc/sysconfig/network file to the LiveCD system. I checked the /etc/rc.d/init.d/network scripts and they are identical. Here are the contents of the files and directories that I copied: > # Begin /etc/resolv.conf > > domain grm.net > search grm.net > nameserver 127.0.0.1 > nameserver 216.139.111.53 > nameserver 216.139.111.54 > > # End /etc/resolv.conf > > ls /etc/sysconfig/network-devices > ifconfig.eth0 > ifdown > ifup > services > > ls /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0 > ipv4-static > > cat /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/ipv4-static > #DEVICE=eth0 > ONBOOT=yes > SERVICE=ipv4-static > IP=216.139.123.xxx > GATEWAY=216.139.123.xxx > #PREFIX=32 > PEER=216.139.123.xxx > BROADCAST=216.139.123.xxx > DNS1=216.139.111.xx > DNS2=2i6.139.111.xx > #NETMASK=255.255.255.xxx I'm pretty sure the 'ifup' and 'ifdown' scripts are the same. My (B)LFS system is an SVN build that I completed in January, 2006. The LiveCD I'm using is the current release. I would appreciate it if someone sees something in my files or directories that I need to change to put on the LiveCD, or if there are any hints that I can use.
