ok it might be a dumb question but I don't know how to store the file. If I
add for example the lines:
alias eth0 509
alias eth1 509
options eth0 io=0x220 irq=7
options eth1 io=0x380 irq=5
after booting trinux, how do I store the file, cause it's all loaded in ram.
is there a command to write all the current settings to disk or something?
Or do I have to create a config file on the boot disk (or edit a file named
different?)
