Did you try e.g. `/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifup eth0' There probably should be a symlink in /sbin to ifup and ifdown. IN_BOOT is set in /etc/rc.d/init.d/network but that is for the entire network, not an individual interface. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
