| | Startup-script to change hostname and IP if not OK I have a classrom of computers where I use virtual machines with Linux as host and Win-XP as guests. After copying a VM they will all have the same hostname. I need a startup-script that will set the hostname and IP-adress from a premade INI-file I can store on the Linux-host. Anyone? |
