Ask sysinstall's questions regarding the network interfaces. :) Basically, you need a tiny file /etc/hosts listing your IP address <-> hostname pairs, and you should fill in the `interface' section in /etc/sysconfig. For NFS, you additionally need to setup an /etc/exports (RTFM export(5)), and to enable the knobs for nfs_client and nfs_server in sysconfig. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
