I like to use ifconfig. Have to run a manpage to get about the same with ip, have done in some situations. Please, do not ask which info, I cannot remember, now. Only remember that when I need some specific info when installing new systems, I really use it, and am very busy in the install to try avoiding using any manpages, particularly the one for ip. I guess this is one of the places in my memory where I am irreparably deprecated myself. :-) -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
