Well, I finally decided to take the plunge and set up pl10 and net-2
with net-010 pacakge on my linux box at work.  I took a lot of the
advice on here that was posted but I still have some very key problems
and at the moment I can't even get through a boot.

Ok...here comes the questions:
1.  I edited the file /etc/HOSTNAME and put my machine name in there
/etc/HOSNAME:
dowland

I put the hostname -vS comman at the top of my /etc/rc.local and it
continally gives me an error "unknown host dowland" or something along
those lines.  Also when I type:
/bin/hostname -vS dowland
on the command line I get the same error.

Now the routing and such sets up fine, but if I just replace the SLS
1.02 .99pl9 rc.net CONFIG and ROUTE section with the manual ifconfig
stuff I can ftp and ping, but telnet gives an unable to est connection
error.  Also the machine locks hard when it gets to the running the
nfsd connection.

2.  What would be the best way to set up the nameserver?  I put
a two nameserver lines in the resolv.conf file but I don't think
it's working.

Well, the I'm not really sure what to do...too late to turn back :)

Thanks in advance for any responses.
