Hi there

I was just wondering if you could help me.  I have set up a bridge between my two eth cards, works fine.  The problem i have is that when i reboot my PC the bridge is lost.  Is there any way i can make this permanent.

I am running slackware 9.1

Kind Regards 
Wesley Coleman

There are a set of initialization files or init files in Linux.  You 
will need to write a script.  All the steps that you used to create the 
bridge by hand is what will be stored in this script.   The your script 
will need to be called in runlevel 3 and runlevel 5.  This is how Linux 
systems startup.  You may want to search on System V ( as in five ) 
startup files.  Each distro puts their startup file in a different 
directory.  On Redhat systems it is in /etc/rc.d but I am not sure if 
this is the same for Slackware.

I hope this helps,
Greg

just put it in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
its simple and it works ;-)
if you even so want to use an System V script
you will have to create the dirs
/etc/rc.d/init.d
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/
copy the script to init.d and create the links in rc3 and rc5.
i would recopmend you using the rc.local just invoke your script.
cheers
