The SoL 25 basic system configuration handles host- and domainname, network setup and the keyboard layout. There are only five configuration files which are all located in /etc/rc.d/cfg.

Contents

[edit] hostname.cfg

Contains the hostname and the domainname of the machine, seperated by '@', which will be passed onto hostname and domainname, e.g.

webserver@my.domain

[edit] if.cfg

Each line in this file specifies a network device, its IP address and its network mask, seperated by '@'s, e.g.

eth0@192.168.0.10@255.255.255.0
eth1@172.25.0.1@255.255.0.0

These values will be passed onto ifconfig.

[edit] kb.cfg

Contains the name of the keyboard layout for the machine, which will be passed onto loadkeys, e.g.

de-latin1-nodeadkeys

Note that this file also influences your Xorg configuration when you run Xsetup.sh.

[edit] modules.cfg

Contains a list of modules that you explicitly want to load at system boot (runlevel 2), one module name per line (without the ".ko" extension).

[edit] route.cfg

This file is mainly used to setup the default route, it contains a list of targets and corresponding gateways, seperated by '@', e.g.

default@192.168.0.1
