How to set IP address during installation over local network??
Hi list, I'm trying to install suse 10.0 over the local network (via HTTP). I loaded the NIC module driver but i didn't find how to set my own ip address. I couldn't find the manual how to set this up. I read installation over the network on "installation help" and it said nothing about setting the NIC or IP address. Please help. Thanks, Adinda P

While the configuration is in there, I forget exactly where. However, it's quite easy to set up a DHCP server in Linux, which eliminates the need to configure an IP address.

After you've loaded the nic module and selected to begin a network installation, the installer will give you the option of either entering in the client IP address or retrieving one via dhcp. regards, Carl

You're looking for the ifconfig command. The reason(s) not to use DHCP are simple; NFS permissions are assigned by IP address. It's also harder for a drive by to do anything if you use static addresses.

Not unless you have used IP-addresses. /etc/exports is perfectly capable of dealing with hostnames, including hostnames with wildcards. /Per Jessen, Zürich

Really? I've never gotten that to work. Mike- -- If you're not confused, you're not trying hard enough. -- Please note - Due to the intense volume of spam, we have installed site-wide spam filters at catherders.com. If email from you bounces, try non-HTML, non-encoded, non-attachments,

It works fine, really. Try something like this in your /etc/exports /tmp *.local.net(rw,sync) Assuming your machines are on local.net, of course :-) /Per Jessen, Zürich

catherders.com, but I see what you mean. 8-)> Next time I have to beat the LAN up I'll try it again. Thanks for the tip.

How? Booting from a bootable SUSE-DVD? Booting from a cd created from boot.iso?

I'm assuming your booting from boot.iso or something more or less alike. You can supply some options at the bootprompt. Here's an example that I used for installing 10.0 at home form a mounted set of 5 CD's: hostip=10.0.0.3 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.0.0.1 install=http://10.0.0.1/pub/suse/i386/10.0/CD1 The network module should be automatically loaded. If not, supply a insmod=<networkmodule> option. The description is in /usr/share/doc/packages/autoyast2/html/info_file_format.html (needs the autoyast2 package). Cheers, Leen
