Hi all Where/how can I set the equivalent of "ifconfig eth0:1 x.x.x.x netmask etc" in Suse 8.0 yast. It used to be simple in 7.x but all I can find is ways of adding eth1, eth2 etc. Dave Williams

I have to say I don't like the "new" yast very much at all, especially the non-gui that I have to use on the servers. It seems long-winded and not really user friendly. My non-tech daughter doesn't much like it's operation but does like the look and feel of the GUI. What do you think? -- Best wishes, Derek

What do you think? I beg to differ :)
I would have said that for the average user (who really doesn't want to know what ifconfig means!) it's great. For me - I guess I'm an intermediate user - a technical background but relatively new to linux, it's also great because it lets me do stuff I don't know/can't remember/don't want to know the commands for. For the advanced linux user, don't know - ask again in a couple of years :) Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
I think you probably can't do this with yast. There was some discussion about this somewhere else when 8.0 came out. However, if you edit the appropriate file in /etc/sysconfig/network, and run SuSEconfig, it should be OK, I think. On Sun, 9 Jun 2002, Dave Williams wrote:

Hi there, I wonder if anyone here has installed a news-server into an NT domain. What I want is to use a Linux box, running SuSE8.0Pro to run the news server. I want it to connect to news.schoolzone.co.uk, but only download the newsgroups I tell it to download, and then only connect 10 times between 8am and 6pm. Any ideas or advice would be welcome. Regards Gareth Edmondson

One solution would be to use leafnode, with a cron job set up to run fetchnews at the specified times. Michael
