I am new to porteus, I have been using it for a few months now.
I have a question about the network connection. is there a way to delay the executeing of the config until the network connection to the lan has been established?
here is the problem, i have old cisco switches, which take about 30 seconds to provide a live internet connection to a computer that has just booted.
this is the line having a problem.
browser_preferences=http://mywebsitehere/opacs/opacconfig.txt
when the computers boot, it throws an error because it can't find the text file.
as a test, I connected one of the computers to a different switch and it works without a problem.
so all I need is a on boot delay of about 30 seconds.
is there a setting like that?
Thanks!
Jesse

Re: Network Delay
Yes. Try delay=30 in /mnt/sdb1/boot/syslinux/porteus.cfgJesseR wrote:so all I need is a on boot delay of about 30 seconds.

For example
LABEL GRAPHICAL section
....
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz changes=/porteus delay=30

Re: Network Delay
Hello Jesse,
You should post in kiosk section of the forum or at least indicate that you are using kiosk to not confuse Porteus Desktop users.
To resolve your problem you could use 'run_command=sleep 30' parameter. More info:

Thank you.

Thank you.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
