Set gateway IP with ifconfig
I figured out how to set netmask and IP with ifconfig: ifconfig -a eth0 192.168.1.132 netmask 255.255.255.128 But how do I set the gateway IP with ifconfig?

Re: Set gateway IP with ifconfig
So I put "route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.128 gw 192.168.1.129 dev eth0"
and I get "SIOCADDRT: No such process"

Re: Set gateway IP with ifconfig
I forgot to re-set the IP for eth0 when I booted. It works now. Also is there a command that I could use to show the free space on a given partition?

Re: Set gateway IP with ifconfig
Thanks. Wow I've used 28% of my 2Gig flash drive. I hope xorg and kde will fit.

Re: Set gateway IP with ifconfig
You might have a look at FaunOS or Larch if you plan to run Arch on a usb stick.

Re: Set gateway IP with ifconfig
I already have Arch installed on my flash drive. I created a ext2 partition, flipped the bootable flag and ran the arch setup as normal. I'd rather start with the console and build up, installing what I want.

Re: Set gateway IP with ifconfig
The difference is that FaunOS/Larch uses squashfs and aufs, which has two advantages: compression (more software can fit on the drive) and writing to the filesystem only on the shutdown, when saving changes (limiting flash drive wear). You should be able to start with a minimal system with Larch anyway.
Of course, it's up to you what solution you prefer :-)
