Re: Network configuration in CentOS minimal

I actually did try that earlier and did not post it on there. The rpm -ivh command ...

I just did the following on a fresh boot:

logged in as root

dmesg

fdisk -l

mount /dev/sr0 /media/CentOS

cd /media/CentOS

rpm -ivh system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm


The output was:

error: open of system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm failed: No such file or directory


So then I did:

cd Packages

rpm -ivh system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm


That gave me this output:

warning: system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID c105b9de: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
  dbus-python is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch
  pciutils is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch
  python-ethtool is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch
  python-iwlib is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch
  usermode is needed by the system-config-network-tui-1.6.0.el6.2-1.el6.noarch


So that is what the yum is suppose to take care of I believe since the installation of the network tool requires those packages to also be installed as well.

When I ran:

cat /media/CentOS/.discinfo


The output was:

1323560292.885204
6.2
x86_64
1


This is very odd. I cannot quite figure out whats going on here.

When I installed CentOS I installed in minimal of course. Is there any configuration of the network that should take place during the install?

Ill try your additional edit recommendation now.
