I'm setting up a dual-boot Debian Linux | MacOS PowerBook. It's connected to a LinkSys Cable/DSL Router, supporting DHCP. After configuring the router, the MacOS side works flawlessly. But there's no joy yet on the linux side.
One thing that'd sure help would be to know how I can translate terms my ISP uses into the terms-fields used in /etc/network/interfaces. i.e.: [...] network --> ? broadcast --> router address? gateway --> name server addresses? Would anyone have example /etc/network/interfaces syntax for configuring the automagic of DHCP? Under MacOS, all the TCP/IP settings are supplied by the router. How is that set up here? Is there another script or file used to configure DHCP? Once I get the DSL connection working under Debian Linux, my next task is to find a package, XF86Config(?), so I can get my PowerBook's trackpad to work under X. Then maybe I can boot into one of Linux's graphical UI's ;) Thanks Scott
