Saving ConfigurationForum: HD Install Topic: Saving Configuration started by: zakiakhmad Posted by zakiakhmad on Sep. 27 2007,08:09
Hello allI've installed successfully DSL on my harddisk. Unfortunately, my configuration is lost after I reboot my computer. My configuration such as: ip network, and uci application. Are there any way to save my ip network and uci application so that I shouldn't configure and re-install uci application Thanks! Posted by Juanito on Sep. 27 2007,09:15
Are you speaking of a frugal hd installation or a traditional hd installation?For a frugal installation, you can set up backup/restore from the dsl control panel and then add the ip network configuration to the backup. Again, for a frugal installation you can create a directory named /mydsl and copy your uci to this directory then it will auto-load on boot. More details can be found in the dsl wiki.

I'm using traditional installation and still has to reconfigure my ip network, and install uci application everytime I reboot my computer.

It's supposed to be that way for uci's, they aren't installed in the traditional sense.To automate all that, just put the commands you want in your /opt/bootlocal.sh, such as mydsl-load /path/to/uci ifconfig eth0 192.168.xxx.xxx/24 route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Sep. 28 2007,14:46
I'm wondering why you need to set up your network each time. Are you just running netcardconfig or...? I have experienced modules not being used at boot and have had to manually set those up.For uci's, you can also permanently install them - see wiki. It makes more sense anyways since you are using a traditional setup and would want to avoid any unnecessary overhead. Posted by zakiakhmad on Oct. 03 2007,06:49
Thank you for the hint! Finally it's succeed. I shoudn't load uci extension manually. About the netcardconfig, my DSL get IP from the DHCP server everytime it's reboot. But I prefer to choose my own IP. Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Oct. 03 2007,13:24
You could boot with nodhcp to save on a bit of resources.
