hostname, modprobe, run apache + mysql on startup


1)first of all everytime I reboot my pc my hostname gets reset to "(none)"
I don't know why this is happening, but there probably is a config file where I can set the hostname permanently.

2) I would also like to automaticly modprobe my netwerkcard on boot, but don't know how.

3) I also have a lite-on JLMS XJ-HD166S DVD-rom/CD-rom drive wich isn't recognized, so if anybody knows wich module it needs that would be a big help.

4) I would also like to start apache and mysql on startup but I cant find the dir /etc/init.d so I suppose Slackware works different.

Ad 2.)
Which version of Slack is that?

Ad 3)
What exactly does "not recognised" mean?

Ad 4)
I don't know about MySQL, but apache
should be started automagically if you installed
the Slack-pack ...
In Slack, that entire process is handled by
the scripts in /etc/rc.d

Specifically, rc.M looks for /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd,
and whether it's executable .. if so, it's being
started.



Cheers,
Tink

Any reference to the second device in
the output of
dmesg
?

Maybe somewhere under
/proc/ide/*/model
?
Code:
find /proc/ide -iname "*model*" -exec cat {} \;

1. type: hostname "yourhostname"
without ""
then edit /etc/hosts and add "yourhostname" there.
edit /etc/sysconfig/network and change the default hostname to "yourhostname".

2. under /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and a line:
/sbin/modprobe "yourNIC"
without ""

3. it must be /dev/cdrom0 or /dev/cdrom1 or /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd or /dev/sr0. these are usually your cdroms.

4. apache and mysql. check /etc/rc.d/
rc.httpd and rc.mysqld are there.
make sure they are executable.
