Hi;

I am not sure why I never get any response on this list... I must be in
everyone's plonkfile for some reason. Anyone know?

Anyhow, I figured out how to do this. I added the line to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
and now the gateway is set on boot.

For this, I edited
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
and uncommented the lines that start with
#RebootCommand= and
#HaltCommand=
and removed everything after the = sign.


Thanks for your time.
