Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011 Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released! Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun!

|
|
friend.</a></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you initially installed Slackware, the setup program invoked the <tt
|
|
class="COMMAND">netconfig</tt> program. <tt class="COMMAND">netconfig</tt> attempted to
|
|
perform the following functions for you:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>It asked you for the name of your computer, and the domain name for your computer.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>It gave a brief explanation of the various types of addressing schemes, told when they
|
|
should be used, and asked you which IP addressing scheme you wished to use to configure
|
|
your network card:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Static-IP</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>DHCP</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Loopback</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>It then offered to probe for a network card to configure.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt class="COMMAND">netconfig</tt> will generally take care of about 80% of the work
|
|
of configuring your LAN network connection if you will let it. Note that I would strongly
|
|
suggest that you review your config file for a couple of reasons:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>You should never trust a setup program to properly configure your computer. If you use
|
|
a setup program, you should review the configuration yourself.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>If you are still learning Slackware and Linux system management, viewing a working
|
|
configuration can be helpful. You'll at least know what the configuration should look
|
|
like. This will allow you to correct problems due to misconfiguration of the system at a
|
|
later date.</p>
