Had you, for example, searched to find out a) how to look at a file, b) looked at the files I suggested you look at, or c) showed you'd done ANYTHING other than read my response and go, "duh, what's that mean?", I'd have been willing to work with you.
I had done some of the things you said. Did find out a) and b) and I think I posted output from cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 in the thread. I know it is there in post 26. Trying to learn Linux at age 77 ain't easy. The comments from different ppl will not send me scurrying back to windows. I have no probs with Ubuntu 12.2 nor Mint 14. Both installed on their own HDs the first time and I didn't have to edit anything. Only CentOS is giving me troubles which is a surprising thing to me. Is this due to differences between Debian and PRM.
You seem to be getting your Benjamins confused. *I* am very familiar with Linux, have rescued more systems than I care to remember using single user mode and, frankly, rarely bother with a GUI.
Unconfuse the Benjamins. This is my last name and seems it'syour first.
And "don't say anything"? Sorry, but if you don't *tell* someone what they're doing wrong, they'll never change.
If you're seriously that busy then get on with your day job and just leave the message to someone with more time who will give a better impression of the community.
