what im not doing: considering any other server / gateway os just yet
so, during the above adventure, i have came across a few problems. the first was after initial setup and testing (very basic install, add only required packages) i tried to change the hostname via the web interface. this caused some sort of lock-up and the machine had to be hard rebooted. the boot sequence started to crawl around loading of the hal daemon and then slapd, so i booted into rescue mode via the cd, chrooted the system partition and had a look around. first stop was to check all network script and config files as i wasnt sure the hostname change was good. so, first checked
/etc/hosts
and all looked good. then checked
/etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
and and found a hostname conflict in /etc/sysconfig/network. i also checked
/etc/resolv
to ensure that dns settings were good. they were, but more on that later...
rebooted and started up no probs! first hurdle!
