The net-setup utility on the install seems to have problems with |
| 38 |
anything out of the ordinary. e.g. |
| 39 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447110 I an issue, too. I took |
| 40 |
the minimal install CD and ran isohybrid on it. My netbook doesn't have |
| 41 |
a CD or DVD drive, so I *HAVE TO* use a USB stick. I tried to set up my |
| 42 |
netbook as... |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
IP address 192.168.123.252 |
| 45 |
netmask 255.255.255.248 (YES!) |
| 46 |
broadcast 192.168.123.255 |
| 47 |
default gateway 192.168.123.254 |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
It failed, and I ended up with an address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx |
| 50 |
range. Typing in the manual "ifconfig" and "route" commands worked, so |
| 51 |
I went on and ignored the problem. A newer Gentoo user, e.g. me a few |
| 52 |
years ago, might have given up. |
