=== Enable networking ===
    
Each boot you have to start the network etc etc. I decided it was better with the minimal install and touch as little as possible - if I could then get SME packages installed I could then use that to configure networking later.

or if you want to assign a IP address yourself.

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2

To make your changes permanent you will need to edit the configuration file to make it active on boot. There is only the vi text editor, you can also install nano.
 +
yum install nano

nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

and set ONBOOT=”YES”

=== Enable SSH ===
    
On first run make sure we have ssh installed so we can use a terminal to login - much easier for copy and pasting stuff :

To get a list of the file names in v8 do :

To get a list of the file names in v8 either do (all file starting with the string 'perl'):
 +
rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' name=perl\*
 +
(Thanks Shad !)
 +
 
 +
or as per suggestion on the lists (All files containing the string 'perl')
 +
rpm -qa | grep perl | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*//'
 +
 
 +
To get a alphabetically sorted list (which is easier to compare lists) add '|sort' to the commands above.
 +
rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' name=perl\*|sort
 +
rpm -qa | grep perl | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*//'|sort
 +
 
 +
Which command will be the de facto standard to use so we are all talking about the same list??
   −
rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' name=perl\*

This is the output of the non-GREP variant:

I am now going to try and lob in the existing/missing el5 versions to see what happens. My guess is we will need to rebuild the required modules.
