Phil,</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>For static IP you also need to create a file, which
I did as </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>follows:</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>[root ~]# echo "# created by Tony" >
/etc/sysconfig/olpc_net_config<br>
</font></tt>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">It doesn't matter what the contents
are, however, XS checks for this file, and if it doesn't exist,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">copies over your ifcfg-eth0 with pre-defined
DHCP ones. The original idea I presume was that</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">after it copies over the DHCP it would
create this file to turn off the process and only do it on the</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">first boot, but in my case, that file
never got created, and all my work setting up static IP was</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">over-written each time. Creating
this file solved the problem.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Martin, would you like me to file a
"bug" on this?</font>
<br>
