That will give you a shell console/terminal window - same sort of thing. For a xterm window you can just go ALT-F2 and enter in xterm or enter that command from a console window. > how do i identify the lan settings using it? You are wanting to find out the machines IP, broadcast and subnet mask settings? Open up a console/shell/terminal window. You need to change to root (so the $ character at the prompt changes to a # character), as the commands listed below will only respond to root and you will only get a "command not found" message with your user powers. Enter in su - [note the space then hyphen] enter, and then root's password. You now have root powers within the shell. Depending upon what you are after, try the some of following commands: ifconfig eth0 dhclient eth0 route ip route > Just beem searching at google.Nothing really came up. :O nothing?! I think you need to redefine your search terms, as there is a huge amount of information out there. |
