Hmm, your DHCP_HOSTNAME="cr123456-a" threw me off and where did your
/etc/hostname come from...and a lot of other weird stuff (like the
"Subnet_mask" and BOOTPROTO"none" above) for a simple static IP that can
easily be configured w/ DrakConf...OK I'll admit it I had to re-read the help
files and spend some time with it the first time through but I don't know of a
better/easier way to setup networking...Another way to get to the same stuff is
by typing 'netconf' from an su'd console (Basic host information, DNS and
Routing should be all you need to worry about).
Don't get me wrong, I know its great to get up and running, this is just to
recommend to others that there's a easier/better way than manually hacking a
bunch of files.
