How can I run Puppy Linux without X server

[Anti]

You could always add:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
(change to your IP and netmask)

in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

What about the default gateway and DNS ip addresses... How do they get added ? I'm getting ready to remaster another cd soon...

[Anti]

To set the default GW add this line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

Code: Select all

#route add default gw 192.168.1.254

(change to your GW)

For DNS etit the file /etc/resolv.conf

My resolv.conf looks like this:

Code: Select all

# Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth0
search lan
nameserver 192.168.1.254

My router is handling DNS queries.

I have not tried to change the settings but this is what I found while googleing. If you have a possibility to try the settings before remastering the CD would be good.

Thanks Anti -

I'm going to give the network settings a try this evening...

I'll let you know what happens...

I received this error message in the ventrilo logs...

20080828 15:03:41 Unable to open configuration file '/root/ventsrv.ini'.
20080828 15:03:41 ERROR: Unable to read configuration data. Exiting.

From the above information, looks like linux was looking for the configuration data file at the root directory.

Maybe I should just copy the ini file and drop it in the root directory...

Good news -

I remastered another cd, made some modifications, and now everything is working!!!!

The system boots without any problems and ventrilo loads automatically...

Thanks guys!!!!!
