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.
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? 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
