[configuring "stolid", my new desktop system]
I wrote that last post Thursday evening (6/28). Now both computers have
static IPs, as defined in /etc/sysconfig/network. "eris" can now print
to the LJ properly. On both eris and stolid, /etc/hosts contains (among
other things), in this order:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.13 dslrouter.aplomb.invalid dslrouter
192.168.1.23 eris.aplomb.invalid eris
192.168.1.33 HPCLJ5.aplomb.invalid HPCLJ5 hpclj5
192.168.1.43 stolid.aplomb.invalid stolid
Here's the output from everything you suggested, and to me it all looks
okay. OTOH the LJ (wired to the router) was also online during all this
so I would have expected it to be included in the 'arp' output.

Nope, but I eventually got them right anyway. What was actually
trickier was having to telnet into the printer to set them, because I
couldn't find a working telnet-protocol program in the Mdv repository.
I ended up booting "System Rescue CD" which included a standard telnet
that I had no problem with.

I'm finally crossing items off faster than I'm adding them. The
interconnectivity was a big one. One item has me stumped so far:
[adam@stolid ~]$ ls -l .mozilla
lrwxrwxrwx 1 adam adam 27 Jun 29 21:58 .mozilla ->
/mnt/accounts/adam/.mozilla/
[adam@stolid ~]$
yet Firefox and Seamonkey are still using /accounts/adam/.mozilla
instead. I think I'll be able to figure out the rest.

That's one advantage of a desktop system. I think the bigger problem
will be figuring out the "best" keyboard without much chance to try it
out beforehand.

OTOH I have discs of "AMD64" versions of distros, and they seem to
install smoothly on eris, which has an Intel Celeron 420 (not an AMD).

Each time I buy a computer (2004, 2007, 2012) I buy the latest edition
to go with it. I'm sure "stolid" has technology that isn't in my 2007
edition.

In the cat newsgroups, it's well-known that Bast (the Egyptian
cat-goddess) will send a new cat to you when it's the right time.
