I do not set DNS information as this does get assigned by my DHCP Server but if you need a script to do it as well, you can add this after getting the IP Information in the first script I sent:
# Place this after the reading of IP information printf "What is the Primary DNS Server? " read DNS1 printf "What is the Secondary DNS Server? " read DNS2 rm -f /etc/resolv.conf # Place this after 'cat << INTERFACES > /etc/network/interfaces' cat <<RESOVLCONF > /etc/resolv.conf nameserver $DNS1 nameserver $DNS2 RESOLVCONF If you want to specify a DOMAIN you can copy one of the above PRINTF statements and ask for DOMAIN NAME, add a section to the CAT statement: domain $DOMAIN If you want to specify a Domain Suffix you can copy one of the above PRINTF statements and ask for SEARCH SUFFIX, add a section to the CAT statement: search $SUFFIX -Stephen (AKA Screwba) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] org] On Behalf Of Thomas H. George Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 5:09 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem switching to static IP address I have built a very nice Debian Live CD but with two problems. One, I can't switch to the static IP addressed used by my lan. I included a copy of my interfaces file in chroot_local-includes. When I boot from the CD I can substitute this file in /etc/network but I can't find a way to shutdown the network and restart it with the substituted file. I must have failed to include some package as there is no network entry in the Debian/Applications drop down list. (Bringing along my special config files does work very nicely in other cases. Specifically, I have an xorg.conf file which allows me to use a Wacom tablet. After booting from the cd I substitute a copy of this file and restart gdm and the Wacom tablet works perfectly.) My second problem must also be an omitted package as only root has a terminal window. The CD is 575 MB. I hope a couple small packages might correct these problems without taking more than the remaining space.
