IP and subnet mask - ifconfig

Gateway - route

DNS - /etc/resolv.conf

ifconfig - Command for changing some network interface settings. You'll probably be looking for the block that describes eth0, but it could be eth1, wlan0, etc. For example, I have two gigabit ethernet ports and a wireless adapter on my main Linux box, so I could have all three (haven't set up wireless - has extra stuff that I don't feel like messing with). ifconfig -a will show extra interfaces that are not "up" at the moment. If this program isn't in your $PATH, it should always be in root's (meaning sudo ifconfig would work - although I think the *buntus put somewhere in the user's $PATH as well). You're looking for the line with inet addr and Mask.

route - Has routing info. The last line should have default in the first column and you're probably interested in the gateway for that.

/etc/resolv.conf - File that has the DNS info. If you need to get networking info for the LFS build/other Linux install, feel free to just copy the file to the LFS/other Linux distro's /etc directory.

Fedora Core 2? If it's not on the Fedora site, then probably not. That's a really old version. The mirrors sometimes have old versions, but last one I checked only went back to 7. If you're having trouble installing Fedora, let us know what errors you get.

install goes smooth, but on boot --- no grub, no linux iso..., just a black screen that sits there cursing at me.
