Hello,
I would like to track the developpment of -stable on my home box, so I
loaded the repository (from the 2,2.6-R CD-ROM) on a separate
partition of my disk. I wanted to get up to date with stable (via
CVSup).
My connection to the Internet is via a PPP link, and the IP address
for my end of the PPP link changes from connection to connection. As I
don't have a permanent IP address, the name of my machine is still
mymachine.my.domain (dafault of rc.conf).
cvsup complains because it can't resolve this name.
I could get around this by setting the host name after the the PPP -
linkup, but it is a kludge (and this won't work when I set up a
private network with PPP aliasing).
Is there a better solution ? (CTM ?)
TIA
TfH
