Re: [Thinstation-general] Can't pull config files from network

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Added NET_DHCP_DELAY=30 to thinstation.conf.buildtime and no change
whatsoever. Boot finishes from unpacking initramfs to icewm desktop in less
than 10 seconds. I still see 127.0.0.1 in the log.

Changed to static IP in thinstation.conf.buildtime and still no change.

Added some echo_log commands to network_files. At boot time they show that
the /var/log/net directory is populated correctly. NET_DEVICE=eth0
properly. But when I do "ifconfig -a" it shows that eth0 is up but has no
IP address assigned.
