hi....

I'm using slackware 10...

My questions:

1. my /etc/sysconfig/ when missing......... therefore i can't config the network and system.......

2. deleting gateway route path..... "route del gw 192.168.0.2" the problem is after entered the command it hang or do nothing...... so i have to press crtl + c


Thanks

it ain't missing... you're in slack now, not RH/FC... slack has being the 'most UNIX like' as a project goal.

not sure about what you need...

I do know there's a sysconfig in /etc/X11
as for network... you can just use netconfig

learn redhat learn redhat, learn slackware learn linux

or learn slackware learn unix, i figgure Pat would prefer you say...

perhaps learn slack, learn *nix

Hi,
Yeah, slack is very different from redhat, etc - I'd definitely prefer the slack/unix way of doing things... much cleaner and simpler if u ask me..

Coming to your question...

Configure ur network by editing /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf .. And then stop and start ur network interface by

$> /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 stop
$> /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 start

HTH

since...... Slackware is different form RH...... so where can i find some infoamation of it's structure?

btw, why is route del gw 192.168.0.2 kinda of not working?

Dunno about the 'route' thingy, but general info on slack's structure and stuff can probably be got from(if u haven't seen these already) :

http://www.slackware.com/config/ , and
http://www.slackware.com/book


These are probably not extensive, but are good starts.. Also this forum is a good resource, I've found it to be one of the best that I've come across - the people are very helpful, and I've found answers to most of my queries by just searching the older posts...


HTH

Maybe because the route was set with the addition of 'default'. Try and see what happens then.

route del default gw 192.168.0.2


same it do nothing........kind like hang there..... os i have to use ctrl + c to terminate it

Could you post the output of : Maybe that will give a clue what's going wrong.

You've got packets coming and going by the looks of it. If your using DHCP (using a router perhaps?) all you really need to do is edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf, not /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1... The only thing you should need to add in there is the information for eth0.. So it looks like this:

Just tell it to use DHCP and your router will do the rest. If your on a static address, just fill out the other info and put 'no' for DHCP, then jump down to the bottom of the file and enter your Gateway Address as well.... I don't know how RH does it but it's very simple in Slak... Even if you do use DHCP, you can still tell it 'no' and statically set your info in this file....

You would still call on /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 to start and stop as shreev suggests...

This is a logical problem. The ip of the gateway should be a different ipnumber to the one(s) used on the machine where you want to set the gateway. Normally it would be the ipnumber of whatever provides a connection to the outside world.
