I installed dsl-1.0 from dsl-1.0.iso on hard disk. After install
I changed the hostname (hostname newname) and configured static -ipaddressetc. (via stsyem-net setup->netcardconfig).

After a boot both the new hostname and static-ipaddress
info disapprears( changes to hostname box and ip address
obtained from DHCP server). Is there a way to keep the information acroos a reboot of system?

add it to /opt/bootlocal.sh

ifconfig eth0 ip netmask ip
route add default, etc.
echo "ip.of.nameserver.here" > /etc/resolv.conf
hostname hostname.you.want.com

the hostname is being changed by the knoppix/dsl bootup scripts.

bootlocal is called from the rc init scripts, afterwards.

enjoy dsl.

I want to configure static ip and your answer helps me a lot  but one thing I still don't understand is the following line:
route add default, etc.

I really don't know wat to put there can you be more specific with an example ?

Thanx in advantage !!

hey your route add is your default gateway of network if that helps any..

This is what I've configured in the bootlocal.sh
ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.202 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 10.0.0.138
echo 10.0.0.202 > /etc/resolv.conf
hostname linuxpdm
but it don't work. I still got an flexible ip instead of the static 10.0.0.202
Can somebody help me with this problem?

did you do an ifconfig -a

Perhaps putting that in a file such as /etc/network.kickstart
Quote
#!/bin/sh

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.202 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 10.0.0.138
echo 10.0.0.202 > /etc/resolv.conf
hostname linuxpdm
ifconfig eth0 up


And then in the autostart script add
Quote
# Making ethernet static
echo "Kickstarting network"
/etc/network.kickstart &

Make sure you chmod it to 700

Give that a shot..it should work ok for you

Also,

You should add the word

nodhcp

to the boot command line or to the "append" line in your bootloader (IE: LILO or GRUB)

and then rerun the bootloader program.

I added nodhcp right here (in /etc/lilo.conf)
# append=""
    99 append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi h        dh=scsi nodhcp apm=power-off nomce noapic"
Is this the correct way and place?

You say something about a autostart-script. Sorry, but where can I find this file? Because I like the kickstart-method

Posted by cbagger01 on April 28 2005,21:46
Yes, this is the correct place.

Don't forget to:

sudo lilo -v

after you save your file in order to activate your changes.
