I thought I was going to fall in love, but apparently I'm doing it wrong, because it didn't catch. I hit 'e' to edit and added ifcfg-eth0=192.168.42.248/24,192.168.42.1 hostname=jpo and then booted. Perhaps that should have been part of a boot line. I forced the IP up in a virt console before letting the installer take off, though, so it found remote repos, and then I switched to wicked to config and wrote the pieces I wanted, so at least this time it worked. Oh, and when poking at grub I noticed the boot options and got rid of the resume= piece. But that tells me that YaST is finding it during configuration and probing rather than it being a problem later. Well, OK. I'm now installing 539 updates. Unfortunately, I still can't hit "restart when this is all finished" but instead have to wait with popups on the screen or manually reboot later. There's a gap there ... I need to learn about command-line updating anyway; I'm rarely near the closet to look at the GUI. Onward! :-) % -- % Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, % based on faith, not based on science. % % Team OS/2 ** Reg.
