hi,
1. I need to change the keyboard language to UK English. Any idea what this would be?
you load the uk english keyboard with "
loadkeys uk". test it by entering on the shell. if it works as you wish then add the line to "
ploplinux/myscripts/runme.sh"
2. Secondly, during the boot sequence I can see the machine is getting an IP fine (also confirmed via "ifconfig" after logon) and boot is stating two DNS servers have been added (as set via the DHCP server) but upon going into a terminal session no domain names will resolve - only IP's resolve.
maybe the file "
/etc/resolv.conf" is not updated by the dhcp client program.
edit the file "
/etc/resolv.conf" and write for testing
nameserver IP1
nameserver IP2
IP1 is your first nameserver ip address and IP2 the second
you can use the midnight commander "
mc" to edit the file.
if the resolve works then add at the bottom of runme.sh
echo nameserver IP1 > /etc/resolv.conf
echo nameserver IP2 >> /etc/resolv.conf
best regards
elmar
