After all this time dealing with oddball compilation issues, I decided it was finally time to set up a T2 partition on my computer and try building T2 under T2. However, for the life of me, I can't get T2 to talk to the network.
The 7.0-rc2-minimal image installed mostly normally. (For some reason Bash/coreutils are stuck on some Spanish locale, while everything else is English--go figure.) When I run ifup eth0, I get a complaint that /etc/conf/network does not exist. I can't find another distro that uses this file, and I can't find anything on the web that describes the syntax for this file. The 7.0-rc-desktop CD lets me run ifup directly (or use a shiny KDE frontend) and it pauses for several seconds before exiting without any error message. I still don't get an IP address. In both cases, ifconfig *does* report the existence of device eth0, and can tell me its MAC address, so I'm assuming this is not a driver problem. Any ideas? Surely T2 *does* support DHCP, right? Subversion isn't very useful without a network connection. :-P -- William Tracy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vice President, Cal Poly Linux Users' Group http://www.cplug.org "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Evelyn Beatrice Hall, frequently mis-attributed to Voltaire ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe t2
