[Clfs-dev] Network bootscript in trunk

[Ken Moffat]

 As always, a lot has changed since my last build - and that's
without my own variations and errors.  So, it's possible that I'm
mistaken about this - particularly since the changelog in the
bootscripts implies we've been doing this for a couple of months.

 I didn't have any network on booting, which made the machine less
than useful (all my notes and sources are on nfs).  After confirming
that the kernel new about eth0 I assumed that something in the
book's introduction of dhcpcd had broken my install (I use
dhclient).  But I now think that all networking is broken.

 The bootscripts (1.2pre7) no longer make the install-network target
during install-bootscripts.  Looking at both static networking and
dhcpcd, it seems to me that the network bootscript and its symlinks
are still needed.

 After copying the bootscripts to the new build, booting it, running
install-network, and rebooting, it works.  So, I guess that either
(a) we need to fix the bootscripts to do install-network during
install-bootscripts.
(b) we need to run install-network from the bootscripts tarball in
both the static and dhcpcd sections of chapter 12.
(c) I'm missing something obvious and networking just works for
everyone else.
