-- Note about the driver:
It messes the font resolution up (IMHO). So to keep the same aspect between the normal driver and the NVIDIA driver you need to edit the file: [/etc/X11/xorg.conf] and add the following line in the section Device:
Option "DPI" "90 x 90"
My section device looks like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DPI" "90 x 90"
EndSection

Please tell me why you adjust the file "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0". Thanks
If you cannot or do not want to use the NetworkManager you need to set the ifcfg-eth0, because sometimes the graphical interface messes things up and does not do what it supposes (personal experience).
Summarizing: if you do use NetworkManager (default) do not bother about ifcfg-eth0
I hope this helps.
Sorry for more questions. When we do not use NetworkManager , which file will execute or call "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" during the boot process.
My notebook PC can not connect to network at boot process when using NetworkManager.
I uninstalled NetworkManager , after linux boot finished, I run something like "init.d/networking start" on command line, it can connect to networking again. I would like to know whether there is any setting that can make the network connected at boot time.
I think that the connecting time is too earlier during the boot process, is there any way to delay the network connecting to the end of the boot process.
Please give me your some advice, Thanks more.
Hi,
The service is "network". You can set the service startup with the following command:
#---
ntsysv --level 345
#---
The NetworkManager has another philosophy and it is not the objective to start the network at boot time. For most users that is not a requirement (promptly availability of network at boot time) and this "late initialization" works fine.
The start-time can be set by renaming the symbolic links in:
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d
for instance, after including the network in the initialisation process:
#---
mv S10network S20network
#---
But do not forget to change the corresponding "kill" process:
#---
mv K10network K20network
#---
Thank you very much, I will have a try .
Hi
Nicly done, but do you know my skript?

Hi Suvi,
Thanks for your comment, but I'm not a big fan of "magic" scripts. I like to keep things as clear and undisclosed as possible. That is why I didn't packed my stuff into one.
But that is me.
