Re: Changing IP

[tony mollica <tjm3@threedogs.net>]

Hello.  This was brought up last week, I think, and someone 
posted a very easy solution
to changing the default install IP settings.

Install the etherconf package, or if it's already installed, run

dpkg-reconfigure etherconf

and respond to the prompts.
