is there another way to specify the hostname and ip number, then using DHCP or the config files? I was thinking of a possibility to specify the hostname and ip number on the bootprompt when AutoYast is about to start. I don't know how many characters can be specified at the boot promp, but it seems a good alternative to the above 2. I hope this is possible and can be made part of AutoYast. The reason I'm asking is; I have no access to our company's DHCP server, and it seems to me that changing the config files for each individual workstation is not "right". -- Richard Bos Democracy cost a fortune
