New options in live-initramfs
Hello,
About the lan properties, working with the ip option, I propose a mod for the
ip boot option,
gets expressions like that:
ip=iface0,ipaddr0,netmask0,gateway0[,domain0[,ipnameserver0[,ipnameserver1]]]
[:iface1,ipaddr1,netmask1,gateway1[,domain1[,ipnameserver01
[,ipnameserver11]]]]
That expression is backwards compatible with the old ip option form, and
extends it with the domain name and two IPs of nameservers for every
interface
and builds the resolv.conf file:
# resolv.conf
search domain0 domain1 # joins the domain's names, space separated
domain domain0 # is the first domain name in the ip option
nameserver ipnameserver0 # lists the two first nameservers found
nameserver ipnameserver1
Best regards,
Jordi Pujol
