<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Hello,<br>
<br>
I've been using RedHat 6.2 of the past year to build clusters and tinker <br>
with. Recently I've taken the plunge into Debian (Potato-2.2r3) world and I <br>
find that some of the configuration is good bit different. In particular, <br>
I'm looking for an analogy in Debian. In RedHat 6.2 (it may be different in <br>
7.x), there is a file "/etc/sysconfig/static-routes" that helps bring up the <br>
network routing very cleanly. This file has worked quite well for me in <br>
RedHat's boot and network initialization scripts. However, I cannot find a <br>
similar solution in Debian. Can anyone help? If I find I cannot live <br>
without the file I may need to port the RH6.2 config scripts to mesh with my <br>
Debian system.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
