[SOLVED] Permanently set resolv.conf with Slackware 14.1

Good day

I am currently connecting to the internet using wvdial and my 3G modem. Everything is fine. However, every time when starting up my computer I need to edit my DNS settings before I am able to successfully load web pages etc...

Code:

root@mypcname:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
# Generated by dhcpcd
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
nameserver 8.8.8.8

At this time I am using Google as a quick fix but I would like to permanently set DNS servers of my choice.

Look forward to your replies,

Thanks and have great day further!

Sincerely,
Marios

You already have the answer in the file... :P

Create a file named /etc/resolv.conf.tail with the line:

Code:

nameserver 8.8.8.8

And your changes will be persistent..
