Hi folks,

Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64

I can't find /etc/sysconfig/network but instead I have /etc/network/interfaces

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces

Code:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.0.10
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 192.168.0.0
	broadcast  192.168.0.255
	gateway 192.168.0.1

I don't have following items on it;
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME="mybox.mydomain.com"

Whether on Ubuntu we don't have /etc/sysconfig/network which is for RedHat only. Then where to put the above 2 items.

TIA

B.R.

/etc/sysconfig/network is for Redhat only.
