   Hey Alan!   
      
    AI> I just booted my first lfs build yesterday. Linux 6.1.2,    
    AI> bash 5.2.15 and a recent version of vim.   
      
   I just booted kv-6.1.2 early yesterday morning;   
    > :r !cat /proc/version | sed 's/^/ > /'   
    > Linux version 6.1.2 (root@motorshed) (gcc (GCC) 12.2.0, GNU ld (GNU

    AI> What a beautiful thing.. :)   
      
   Agreed.  As far as I am concerned it is the absolute best thing that happened   
   to any computer.   
      
    AI> I just need to add a *.eth0 to setup the network (I think).   
      
   Yes.  On the three lfs systems here, there are two - eth0 and eth1.  One is   
   for static IPs on cable, the other for my wired private network.  Also   
   wireless hostapd but those are customized setups with their very own   
   extra-special rc scripts.  If you want to have a looksee at any of the   
   /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth? don't hesitate to ask and I can netmail then to   
   you.  However I think they are pretty straqight forward once you see them in   
   action.   
      
    AI> but it uses static IPs and mine is dynamic, my slackware setup    
    AI> gets the IP with dhcpcd   
      
   Right.  See https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/basic   
   et/dhcpcd.html for all the gory details.  It isn't installed by LFS so you'll   
   need to add it following the BLFS instructions.  Same with wpa_supplicant for   
   automagic wireless configurations for client systems.   
      
    AI> I wonder if I need to install and setup dhcpcd   
      
   Yes you do.  I think https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/   
   vn/basicnet/dhcpcd.html is the answer to all your questions but if not I   
   believe I have some insight that will take it over the top.   
      
   WARNING:  LFS is extremely addictive.   
      
   Life is good,
