Easily: netconfig -d eth1 netconfig -d eth2 etc... netconfig only writes the config files for you, so you'll have to reinitialise the interfaces you configure manually with 'ifup/ifdown' or 'service network restart' > It is just that the curses version of redhat-config-network is poorly > developed. the new version in FC3 is much better... be aware that all of the old redhat-config-* tools are now called system-config-<whatever>. > > What about configuring our own rpm's into a grey distro - can we do that > easily, and add our own packages (such as qmail, apache-mod_ssl etc.)? you mean customising the install list so that home-built packages can be installed as part of a default install? yes, although it isn't particularly trivial. this usually involves experimenting with anaconda and anaconda-runtime and *will* involve setting up an install tree and customising its comps.xml file, putting your custom rpms in the RPMS directory and running /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist /path/to/installtree --productpath=Fedora (Typos excepted) > Is kickstart still used, or is that now something else. How easy is it > to set up ONE bootable dvd with the distro on it? yes, kickstart is still used. Fedora Core 3 is available as a DVD iso image as well as CDs. If however you wish to customise it to include your RPMS etc etc, you will have to experiment a bit.In fact there are scripts on the internet and articles in magazines which will tell you how to do this. there is anarticle in Linux Magazine this month about building a custom FC3 DVD (I don;t knwo if the European edition is available where you are) These links may help : http://www.linuxcompatible.org/story14425.html http://acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/linux-kickstart/ > Can I put the distro on more than one box, or are their user licences? Fedora Core does not require registration or licenses, so you can put it on as many boxes as you like. The Enterprise (RHEL) products do.
