Thanx, but I need to configure Porteus, as I am running it from a usb-drive in different internet-shops in India.
With Porteus I have my own virus free OS always with me.
The problem is that the configured Indian default dns-servers are very slow and sometimes completely down.
So, I would like to configure Porteus to use only the openDNS servers as default, instead of getting the dns-server from the network.

Hi
RainerD
add to your rc.local script:
Code: Select all
# killall dhcpcd
echo "nameserver 208.67.222.222" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 208.67.220.220" >> /etc/resolv.conf
If IP adress return to your home number you can uncomment only first line.
Cheers
