Amen, I have found that moving between distributions almost certainly means that someone with a penchant for insert gui scripting language here has created a gui based config editor. So instead of knowing which file to edit to change the settings via cli you need to remember what the hell they call the gui and also the quirks of the particular interface. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://mail.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Just when I think I'm getting better... I am doing a new installation of RH 7.2 on a gateway machine for home network. I intend to download Roaring Penguin to NAT and also the gateway will server as my firewall. I did a workstation install and will have to configure the second NIC (uplink via DHCP to ISP). Although I was able to select the correct monitor during install, its not working correctly; the graphical interface (KDE) is hosed and I can't use the mouse to access Linuxconf or Netcfg. Fine. So I exit from graphical interface to CLI. I am logged in as root. Linuxconf and Netcfg are not recognized. I tried /sbin/linuxconf and /sbin/netcfg, but they are still not recognized commands. Did I miss a memo? ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://mail.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: duh
Thanks. It allowed me to fill out info on first screen of Netconfig (IP address, subnet mask, DNS etc) and when I hit enter it kicks me right back to the command line. What about linuxconf? Any ideas why I'm getting nowhere with these two very important configuration tools?

Any ideas why I'm getting nowhere with these two very important configuration tools? Very important? There's nothing that they do that you can't do with good old ifconfig, route assorted manual editing of files under /etc. I have no idea why they don't work for you, cause i never use them.

Re: duh
They are important to me because they tell me what information the system needs, it allows me to bring up eth1 at boot and with DHCP etc. I don't yet know which files I can edit manually to do what I need to do. My first message says what I'm trying to do and what problems I ran into. I need to bring up two NICs, one for network and one DHCP for uplink to ISP. With linuxconf or netconfig I can do that. In any event, I fixed the X configuration so I can now use the GUI in KDE to get to netconfig. On Sunday 28 September 2003 09:11 pm, you wrote: On Sun, 28 Sep 2003, koko wrote: Thanks.
