Len, You are absolutely right!
Even reading your email almost a dozen times I overlooked that that was an "f" and not a "p". I even tried installing rh 7.2 again and upgrading it to 8.0 to see if ipconfig would be there. I tried again installing EVERYTHING! And it is still installing. I'll abort the install and go back to what I was using. Thanks again.

I'm not the one to comment definitively on networking under Linux, but are you sure it's ipconfig? The only place I've seen that is Windows. Under *nix, there's ifconfig, which controls the NIC, assigns IP addresses, netmasks, etc. For example, 'ifconfig -a' will give a fair amount of status info on your network adapters. 'ifconfig eth0 down' will shut down the driver instance for the eth0 NIC. While you're at it, you might want to look into ifport. You can set port speeds and such with it. -- +-----------------------------------------------------+ | Len Philpot ><> http://philpot.org/ | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] (alt) | +-----------------------------------------------------+ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
