Does IPv6 run in conjunction with IPv4. I think it does. I don't really understand all the issues with implementing IPv4. > I'm not really sure what to do about actual IPv6 entries as your prefix > will likely change when your router is rebooted unless ISPs start > handing out static /64s (the last 64 bits are stable as they are > assembled from the MAC address with FFFE inserted in the middle). I think that we should hold off for now (after LFS-7.0) until we get a good handle on how it will be used. AFAIK, most internal networks will still use IPv4/NAT, but the single DHCP from the ISP or static IPs may well be IPv6. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
