Comment A brief summary of the possible ways to do it that (Score 1) 10
1 Set the IP manually, using keyboard and monitor
2 Use BOOTP or DHCP
3 Configure the server via floppy
4 Pre set the IP and make a staic host route (and some ipfwadm scripting)
5 Hack the kernel
1) The crude and effective way out.
Works, but isn't a attractive solution, since it depends on the installer being capable to handle more than a webbrowser...
2) I rather don't...
I don't want to intrefer with the customers network to much, introdusing extra network services is definitely one of those things that I shuld avoid...
3) making a simple win (or whatever) program to create a config file on a floppy that are searched for at every new floppy is a easy way but is a obvious security hasard.
4) It's a nice solution, and probably the most appealing yet, but wich adress shuld I use as a default, not anyone of the private internet's, many of our customers use them now...
5) Culd anyone give me a estimated time for making a module for this?
If You have the time and expertise to create this I culd check for the financial room to develop this and ofcause release it GPL!
Are there any other approach that I have overseen?
Kind Regards
