RE: [Trinux-talk] network config

[Garrett, S. \(SGARRETT\) <SGA...@ar...>]

I use DirectISO from Windows XP to edit the trinux iso file.

You should see 2 folders at the root:  isolinux and trinux.  In the
trinux folder, you should see folders bootpkg, kpkg, modules, pkg, and
tux.

=20

In the tux folder is another folder named config.  Within this folder
you will find a file named eth0.  The contents should be "dhcp" without
quotes.  I believe this is the file you want to edit.  You can replace
dhcp with the IP address you want each time you boot -- or -- I believe
- you can leave this file empty thus forcing you to manually configure
networking each time you use trinux.

As for changing your dns server from the command line after the NIC is
assigned an address, normally in linux you would edit the
/etc/resolv.conf file.  This tells the client's resolver who to use.
But in the case of trinux, I'm not sure.  Perhaps the file named
"forward" is used?  I don't do much Linux networking, but I have seen
some distros where you could type "nameserver x.x.x.x" and manually
configure a DNS server. I think.  Don't make fun of me if I am wrong,
but hey, its worth a try.

I will try tomorrow in the lab to see if I can make it work.

Subject: [Trinux-talk] network config

=20

I am using the trinux-0.890.iso to boot from the cdrom drive. =20

2 Questions:

=20

1)How do I disable DHCP so that the system prompts me at boot up to
enter my network config?  I have looked through this list and the trinux
website, but couldn't find a good answer.  There was one thing on the
website about deleting a file named dhcp (this would cause the system to
prompt for the config), but that was for the boot floppy and I can't
find this file on the cdrom iso.=20

=20

2)once the information is entered, how would I go about changing the
address of the DNS server?  Also, how do I view what I'm server I'm
currently using.  I know how to change everything else, but can't for
the life of me figure out how to do this. =20

=20

Any help would be appreciated. =20
