How do I do this on Suse 8.2? The "basic" network settings in YaST should do the trick. :) > -- > "Turd Ferguson. Yeah, he's a funny guy." > ~Burt Reynolds (As portrayed by Norm McDonald of SNL) >
"Basic network settings" is not enough. Yesterday I installed SuSE-8.2. Installation is a marvel. All the devices are automatically detected and configured. Applications are automatically installed (too many unfortunately, I would prefer to have the list of software to choose. Now I'll have to uninstall an useless mplayer without codecs and with Yast2 it takes time). Problem on which "icon" in "basic network" do I have to click-click to get rid of the dhcp settings and install a fixed address. If I try: # ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.224 192.168.x.x up I have something like "installation impossible or not allowed". That particuler setting was easier and faster with Yast1 Another question: can someone remind me how and when (and why) to use "checkinstall" when installing a tar file.
