SL4P default setup

  • The Network Manager, well, manages the connections, and ask for an IP address through a DHCP request.
  • You can set it up through a right-click on the desktop.
  • It's not included in the stock Slackware.

Slackware default setup

  • Stock Slackware doesn't use the Network Manager, nor Wicd.
  • If you want a non-graphical server setup, you can disable the network manager. Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and comment at the end:
/etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager start

into 

#/etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager start
  • Run as root:
netconfig
  • The hostname MUST BE:
darkstar

otherwise you'll break some Pandora scripts compatibility. Sudo won't launch anything with the wrong hostname.

  • Set you parameters.
  • Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf to finalize your setup.
  • Be sure to have all used interfaces plugged when booting. With the deactivation of the network manager, it's no more plug and play.
