[Trinux-talk] disabling DHCP and setting network config

[<cra...@so...>]

I have some probably very basic questions that maybe I can get some help on
so I can start playing with all the tools. :)

1.  I am using the IDE boot image and when it is booting, it is trying to
get an IP address from DHCP server.  What is the best way to prevent the
DHCP client from trying to obtain an IP address??  I guess I can get rid of
the packages or rename them  but wanted to see if that was the most
sensible method.

2. Assuming my network card is detected (just read on archives on how to
check and that will be my next step), how do I set my network settings (IP
address, subnet, etc)?  Not as important but still curious, how can I avoid
retyping the information each time I reboot?

TIA,
Barry
