[19:57] how can i force/override the nameserver used in the installer so i can influence name resolution on the target? the local dhcp server is not in my control. or maybe i can just add entries to /etc/hosts ? [19:58] or just re-write resolv.conf? [19:59] but i need to first access my pressed file that requires name resolution [19:59] going by IP doesn't seem to work [20:23] pmatulis: IP should work [20:24] CarlFK: yeah, i got that to work but i'm just not used to lighttpd. it's weird [20:24] CarlFK: then i did an early_command to re-write the target resolv.conf and it's working [20:25] gross ;) [20:26] heh heh [20:26] I think it would be better to add entries to /etc/hosts - which is different from /target/etc/hosts, so it would not be part of the install [20:27] but meh.. dns has its uses [20:29] well i do want resolv.conf to keep the custom value. let's see what i'll end up with [20:35] I think you will want to feed that into CONF=/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/setup/nodes/pxe/shaz/var/www/lc/late.sh#L177 [20:35] nm clobbers resolv.conf [20:37] no n-m , server only [20:37] and resolv.conf popped back [20:38] how do i keep it at the customer value? OR keep /etc/hosts at a custom value? [20:39] did you modify /target/etc/resolve.conf ?in late_command? [20:40] no [20:40] in case it isn't clear: the installer mounts / under /target and does chroot stuff to set it up [20:40] i guess i'll do that [20:40] ok, good to know
