I really recommend against using the kvm initscript... it is fragile is broken. On Fedora, you can use the standard initscripts (well, they are fragile and broken too, but they are more complete than the kvm initscript): [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sw0 DEVICE=sw0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:0F:EA:6E:1E:F0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Bridge DHCP_HOSTNAME=blast [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BRIDGE=sw0 HWADDR=00:0F:EA:6E:1E:F0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet This setup starts dhcp directly on the bridge, without the need to move things around. See especially the 'TYPE=Bridge' and 'BRIDGE=sw0' statements. Is there a reason to use the kvm initscript instead of this? -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
