[SOLVED] The root run-time file

Where do i put the command dhcpcd so that whenever I boot archlinux, the internet will be up and running without me typing in the command for it?

Re: [SOLVED] The root run-time file

dhcpd <- is in my list of daemons, but the internet still needs a dhcpcd call in root after i go into my user account to start working... any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] The root run-time file

Uh... I used to simply have

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

in my rc.conf file. (change to suit your 'net device)

Set up your interface /etc/rc.conf to use DHCP automatically, so the network script will run dhcpcd for you:

My example:

#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
#   (prefix an interface in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it)
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)


If it doesn't work for some reason, you can add your command to /etc/rc.local, which executes the commands in it as the last step of the boot-up.

EDIT: Too slow I am  lol

ummm rc.local isn't "The Arch Way"... it's rather simple actually...

in rc.conf set:

eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
...
DAEMONS=(... network ...)
