Neolinux and code
|
|
Neolinux is a modifed and cut down version of Redhat, it also has additional drivers for the sis sound chip. It seems that name
resolution is bit of problem with the default setup though, see panel below for a dirty fix. Neolinux has NFS client support, so its
possible to use it with an NFS server, it also has wget to make life easy when it downloads patches. It makes heavy use of ramdisk and
symlinks so can need a little care to figure out which files are "real" and which ones are compiled or symlinked in during boot.

Stop rc code from overwriting resolv.conf by commenting out line

Disable rc code resolv.conf regeneration
