[luau] Re: Gnome doesn't load at bootup

[Dean Fujioka]

Ray and Steve,

Let me clarify.  Originally,. the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain

now, after running this script

hostname ""
echo '/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname $(/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | sed -n -e
"s/^.*addr://g" -n -e "s/ Bcast.*//p")' >> /etc/sysconfig/network

 /etc/init.d/network restart

the file /etc/sysconfig/network  has this in it

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname $(/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | sed -n -e
"s/^.*addr://g" -n -e "s/ Bcast.*//p")
/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname $(/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | sed -n -e
"s/^.*addr://g" -n -e "s/ Bcast.*//p")

I think it is there twice because I ran the script again.  I think I've got
the ' and ` mixed up maybe?
