Or you can do what I did and install a HTTP server on your machine as part of the normal BLFS desktop build. You can then hack the web pages your HTTP server serves and get a quick, easy (not counting the initial setup of the server) and configurable network interface for you desktop. And if you happen to also have a DNS server in the network, and if that DNS server talks to the DHCP server, people can access you computer seamlessly, just as if it were part of the Web (which it would technically be, if you include at least one link to the WWW). -- You don't need an AI for a robot uprising. Humans will do just fine. --Skynet -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
