This looks like a lot of work, and again would require some systemd stuff to be installed. But we're back to square one in that without a working gateway, I cannot access the net to download and install the stuff. I finally got the eth0 address changed but had to reboot: eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.71.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.71.255 ether 3e:1b:98:17:e3:8c txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 758 bytes 102329 (99.9 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 1031 bytes 82076 (80.1 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 40 but that did not get me a gateway in the route -n report this is the current /e/n/interfaces file doing this: root@rock64: route add gw 192.168.71.1 eth0 gw: No address associated with name And I have a login shell I cannot copy to paste from. ikill it, open a new tab on konsole and it works again. Is there anything wrong with the route statement I used? > Thanks Adrian. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
