Re: [linux-audio-user] AGNULA nightmares, again

Hi Tim. As you've spent all afternoon waiting for the big music remix fracas to start again,

and Dave Philips hasn't come back on what additions to make to the wiki, I thought I'd put my 2 cents worth in. The man page is fine if you are really up to speed with Linux, but having looked through it earlier on, I wouldn't know where to start with a blank page in /etc/network/interfaces, as with roll your own Gentoo. Admittadly most distro's have a partially contructed page. I think an addition could be made regarding a nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf, also, perhaps, an example of an /etc/network/interfaces file, with instructions to change IP address and gateway if necessary for static setups. Perhaps showing changes that need to be made if wanting to use dhcp. Personally I don't see any point in using dhcp unless you are using more than 10 or so machines. I've put my /etc/network/interfaces file below from one of my Debian installs if you want to add it to the wiki as an example. # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional) auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static  address 192.168.0.7  netmask 255.255.255.0  network 192.168.0.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255  gateway 192.168.0.1 iface dsl-provider inet ppp      provider dsl-provider # please do not modify the following line      pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # line maintained by pppoeconf This is on a client machine going through a layer 2 switch to a Smoothwall Express 2 firewall, connected to the net by serial modem. You're free to use this to update the wiki, as no ones going to hack my private address. I'd do it myself, but have never updated wiki pages before.
