Hola Jaromil !

    I got around to checking out Dyne2 and am impressed, except 
for accessing the internet.


    I have a static cable account, and trying ifconfig as root after 
configuring the network gives me


#ifconfig eth0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:D9:E2:48
inet adr:172.17.8.225 Bcast:172.17.8.25 Mask:255.255.255.00
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:51536 errors:1 dropped:0, overruns:0, frame:0
TX packets: 127 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes: 316842 (3.0 Mb) Tx bytes: 9184 (8.9 Kb)
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xa400

    The thing I can't understand is that I had no problem with
net access with Dynebolic1.1.1 - I rebooted it to figure out what I
may have done differently but nothing came up.


    I'd be grateful for any constructive advice.


    Similarly, trying mutt gives me "POP host is not defined"
and "No mailbox is open". I'm a daily Mutt/vi user and am unclear where 
Dyne2 mutt config files reside - the nest ?


    That said, it is an impressive achievement, under
often difficult conditions ... 


Cheers,

Adam Bogacki,
