eth_up command not found
I see this error multiple times when I boot up. It comes from the inet1 script. Does this script need to run for me to use the network? Right now all I use is iwconfig and dhclient to connect to the internet. Also, does ldconfig have to execute every bootup? It takes a while.

What release of Slackware are you running?

The rc.inet1 file initializes the network, and it can do so too for your wireless card if you want. But if you work with iwconfig and dhclient and find that sufficient, then you don't need rc.inet1 I guess. And no, ldconfig does not need to run on every boot. If it takes to long to start, comment it out of the boot script. Make sure you run ldconfig by hand then, each time you install new software. Eric |
Hmmm ... none of the rc.inet1 scripts I have access to mention an eth_up
What did you do to yours? :} [edit] That's what you get when you start editing and go away :) [/edit] Cheers, Tink |
Just to complement Alien Bob's post, the ldconfig command is called from the /etc/rc.d/rc.M script.
I personally prefer to add an ampersand (&) at the end of the command so it runs albeit on background and the boot up process doesn't last too much (around the 25 - 30 secs mark) |

If you are using another GNOME desktop for Slackware, then they may not have patched it. |

Don't know if it is something you Dropline guys should patch, or pass on to the upstream developers, but it seems neither has been done up to now. Cheers, Eric |
