Please read the slackbook fully. This will help you a lot in understanding the whole of Slackware ... much better than you can using forum. Read especially about the rc.d directory
Your second question :
rc.inet1 configures the networks , not rc.M/S.
In rc.inet1 there is a line that is :
Quote:
echo "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: /sbin/dhcpcd -d -t ${DHCP_TIMEOUT[$i]:-60} ${DHCP_OPTIONS} ${1}" | $LOGGER
/sbin/dhcpcd -d -t ${DHCP_TIMEOUT[$i]:-60} ${DHCP_OPTIONS} ${1}
|
Change the second line to ...
Quote:
/sbin/dhcpcd -d -t <timeout> ${DHCP_OPTIONS} ${1}
|
Keep appropriate <timeout> value, read "man dhcpcd" for more info.
Reg. your first question ,
you need to do :
Quote:
#ifconfig eth0 up
#dhcpcd
