There it is, how about that! I managed to get the one change I was working on going by just modifying the rc.custom file on the floppy and creating a script with that....this is pretty slick!
My goal is to have a floppy that will boot an older PC (floppy-only) up to the login prompt on another linux box. I have created a new user (connect) in the passwd file and have that user running a script that sets the terminal emulation and telnets to the server. The only problem I'm having right now is that I don't get a DHCP address. If I do the following two lines, then logging in as connect bounces me right through to a login prompt on the server. route add default eth0 ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.211 netmask 255.255.255.0 The 'original' disk didn't get the DHCP assignment either. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Oehser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 10:33 PM > To: Jerry A.
