hi, i'm trying to customize a CD for remote office installations and one of the problems I need to figure out is how to get the name for the first network interface to stick it in install.cfg. In linux it will always be eth0. In my case I am dealing with either xl, fxp, rl or ed interfaces, but I don't know what hardware will be used before hand. Is there a way to reference the first ethernet interface in sysinstall config file without knowing what its exact name will be? thanks in advance, slava. Yahoo!
