The stuff in contrib/ isn't officially supported, but it should be usable. Neither the network service framework nor the mtu service have changed since I've been around. Just install it in sysconfig/network-devices/services and drop in an appropriate config in ifconfig.*. You might have to read the service script to grok the appropriate config variables, but it should be really straightforward. We might just want to move it into the supported scripts, anyway. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
