Other Help Topics :: Thinking about buying some DSL USB pens..

Hi like you I started out with a lot of questions (see struggling to remaster) . However although my remastering is based on a CD I would have thought the principal is the same.

What I do is use a partition on my HDD for remastering so that it makes it easier. It is usually best to run DSL in ram by typing toram at the boot prompt.

My first question to you is, do you need this unit to access the internet as well as the network?

If the answer is no then in the /opt/bootlocal.sh add the following line :
ifconfig eth0 <network IP address> netmask <netmask> broadcast <IP address> up

otherwise come back to me as off the top I cannot remember the exact line for route and a line will need adding/creating for /etc/resolv.conf to hold the nameserver.

/opt/bootlocal.sh

This has been mentioned a lot of times, but how does this actually work?? How can I write something to a file that's reloaded on every reboot? I have no HD's in the computer.

Am I missing something?

Regards,
Thomas

If you have no harddrive, you could use a floppy or pendrive to store a backup or mydsl package that includes bootlocal.sh. If you don't have either of those, the only thing i can suggest is to rebuild the ISO to include a backup or mydsl file. This can be done with the mkmydsl script, if you have a burner, or know someone with a burner.
