Well, I've done a little postscript programing in the past (it's a fun language to program in directly, but usually more practical to write c programs to produce postscript output). I never tried editing an image before, but I just had a go at your question, because I wanted to know what the ans

I guess it is using pump (/sbin/pump) to configure the interface, that is one of the first ~100 processes so I'd imagine it is started when my net card is initialised. Pump is what dpkg tells me is the replacement for dhcpd, but dhcpd is also out there (you can get either from apt-get install).

actualy to get a dhcp address is as simple as typing dhcpcd as root (you don't need to init the interface dhcpcd will do it for you) you should already have a dhcpcd rc file ready to simlink into your run level if you want it to init dhcpcd on bootup since I work in so many diffrent environments

Check out /etc/network/interfaces instead of something like iface eth0 inet static (blah blah blah blah) you will need to use: iface eth0 inet dhcp You should be able to ifdown and ifup and get the interface running right... I don't think you need to compile any extra support into your kernel

How can I configure a Debian box to use DHCP to get a IP address?   I told it to use a static one when I set it up but now I need to integrate this box with the school network so I need it to use DHCP.   I tried downloading (apt-getting actually) linuxconf, but it doesn't work when I try to

Actually, that's what I ended up doing - using xfig. In a couple of different ways. But it looks to have turned out well in the end. The reason my boss wanted to do the postscript markup was so that when the image was scaled, the text would scale right along with it. Oh well. Popping the jpg int

hi kath/nicole - if i recall the model SD11 motherboard is made by FIC? if so - yes, that board is very picky about its power supply, though 300W is fine. all of the other boards i've used (msi, asus, abit, gigabyte) mention power supply req's but run fine on a standard 250W. it also depends h
