New subject: How to display the IP on the welcome screen

20 Apr 2010


      Ideally, it should be displayed on the GUI, like the date/time and hostname

Subject: [CentOS] How to display the IP on the welcome screen
Hi all,
I'm running CentOS 5.4 in a VMware guest, with the host connected to a DHCP
enabled LAN
When CentOS comes up, I would like to see the IP adress displayed on the
welcome screen.
This would save me the hassle of logging in the VM, getting the IP, and
logging off before finally ssh'ing to the VM.
=============
Is this to be shown on the GUI welcome screen or when you eg ssh in?
