Hi hank, i've finally got a box running as a dhcp server, (pentium

network setup again ? like in the pre-base install ?
That would be nice to know. Been trying to figure that out myself.
Anybody know?
In Slackware all I use is netconfig and it helps me to reconfigure the
network.
There must be some program that the boot install runs to do this, but
the package is not visible to the user. I did see, however, on tty4
that dhclient was running at the time.
You might check and post on the lists for the debian boot team for an
answer to that one. http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/
Near as I can figure out it has something to do with the dhclient
package. I tried running dhclient on a network interface card that was
already configured with the boot install system, but it didn't work to
configure the card off the dhcp server. I must be missing something.
Don't really want to restart the whole install system to reconfigure the
network.
It would be nice if debian had a package to run to reconfigure the
network like netconfig from slackware.
It's not the series of questions of the base-install but I always just
edit /etc/network/interfaces, and ifup/ifdown the interface I've
reconfigured. Work nice. Details: "man interfaces", "man ifup".
HTH, Erik.
