Hi all,
One of those why and how questions I've had for a while...
In Roberts reply to my gateway and dns question he said "See the
interfaces man page:
interfaces(1) for info on the format."
In doing 'man interfaces' I got interfaces(5), 'man ifconfig' gives
ifconfig(8), etc
What do the numbers represent and how do I get the man interfaces(1)
page? (although the interfaces(5) page had all the information I needed
for the task)
I know it will be an easy one, but it is another step on my path to
enlightenment :)
Thanks
Paul
