I just completed a recent install of Linux. After an initial install, I repartioned and reformated the hard drive and reinstalled Linux. During the first installation I answered all of the networking questions. When I ran setup during the reinstall, it did not prompt me for any network information.
There is no ifconfig, netconfig, telnet, etc. files.
I have searched through the docs and the whole distro disk as well as the forums.
Can anyone tell me where to find the config files?
I can find telnet.
You might just want to install the majority of the N series. It seems like you have a good chunk missing. Netconfig is simply a script. I could mail it to you as an attachment if you want.
Thank you. I am aware that netconfig is a script.
I probably could have recreated it in the time I spent looking for it If you could e-mail it,
I would be extremely appreciative.
I installed ALL of the N series - even reinstalled it to make sure I didn't forget anything.
Ifconfig missing is kinda scary. It doesn't appear with 'locate' 'which' or 'find'?
I just nose'd through all of the packages in the alphabetic slakware directory and couldn't find a thing that the net-tools kids from N would be dependant on unless for some bizarre reason you left out important parts of A or AP, but Slack will whine if you try and do that.
