[Erp5-users] LiveCD: How-to make network configuration persistent / config.xml

[david atlan (PHENO)]

Hi,

I tried the noapic solution, which did not solve the problem. Following  
solution did solve it though:
create a file /mnt/erp5_cd/config.sh
with:

ifconfig eth0 up
dhclient eth0

I still have to play with it now :)

cheers
david
