IFL: Disable DHCP in startup menu

Post by BWTB »

E.g. in version 2.61 I could put the commad "iflnet=0" in the SYSLINUX.CFG file, meaning DHCP will be skipped in the Linux boot/initialization.
It seems this command doesn't work in gui_2.75, is that right?

If so, can I use another command?

Thanks in advance

That hasn't changed. The iflnet=0 parameter is still available (in both the CUI and GUI versions).

It would normally be entered as a boot parameter on the initial boot screen (e.g. boot: 2 iflnet=0), but you are correct that you can accomplish the same thing by inserting it on the "append" lines in syslinux.cfg. Keep in mind that you would have to put it on the append line for each menu choice (screen resolution) that you want it to work with. The example below shows it added to the end of the line (it could be added anywhere after "append").

append vga=773 xres=1024 iflkmap=us ktl=qwerty initrd=initrmfs.gz iflbflag=0 ProductKey=xxxx-yyyy-zzzz iflnet=0

Hmm...now it works.....I must have done it wrong some how. I didn't put the "iflnet=0" to the end of the line, maybe that's why.....but anyway, now it works :-)
THANKS FOR QUICK REPLY :-)
