Script looks nice, and now I see how it works actually trying the commands. It looks like we could probably add an ALIAS config for ipv4-static. But what happens if the user sets a label as their only address? I.e., they only have a single config file in ifconfig.eth0 and it sets ALIAS=1 because having an alias sounds like a good idea? I'm honestly asking because I have no experience here. > > As for getting it in LFS, I would be find adding it to the contrib > > directory in lfs-bootscripts. > > Great.

I'd prefer to just add it to the current ipv4-static script so long as it doesn't regress anything or add a big potential pitfall for newcomers. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
