[opensuse-autoinstall] SuSE 10.1 + Converting from dhcp to static IP

SuSE Version: 10.1 Install Method: PXEBOOT/DHCP Hello Everyone! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how-to convert from dhcp-boot to static IP during the autoyast install? Questions: 1) Should converting from dhcp-boot to static IP take place during pre-scripts, or post-scripts? 2) When the install is initiated with dhcp, what file holds the network/dhcp information during the install process? 3) Would it be practical to use commands such as ifconfig and netstat to get the network information, and write to the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-$MAC and /etc/sysconfig/network/routes files? Observations: I have noticed if a client is using dhcp, the package "NetworkManager" is installed, and will manage the network settings for eth0. However, if a client is using dhcp/NetworkManager, the NTP & NIS services will fail to start during bootup. If I manually change the network settings to static, NTP & NIS will start during bootup. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. My best to you -- Rick King This is what I have in the network section of my control file. <networking> <allowed config:type="list"> @lab_nis(rw,sync) </allowed> <mountpoint>/local</mountpoint> true AUTO <dns> true true <hostname>AUTO</hostname> </dns> <interfaces config:type="list"> <interface> <bootproto>dhcp</bootproto> <device>eth0</device> <startmode>onboot</startmode> </interface> </interfaces> <modules config:type="list"> </modules> <routing> false </routing> </networking> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
