Hardware Settings

[ikemup]

I'm still trying to figure out how to get settings to remain intact between reboots... :mad: things like my nic... i can get it to work just fine, but i have to set it up after every boot... at this point i already have in conf.modules an alias for it:

alias eth0 3c509
options yadda yadda

also... do drives (floppy & cd) have to be mounted manually whenever they're used?... i've noticed that my cd drive will not release the tray unless i unmount it... is there a better way to deal with drives?

Thanks!!

Add that to /etc/modules.conf
then do depmod

edit /etc/fstab and change the lines for your cdrom et al to say no auto instead of auto.
