This specifies the name of your machine.

Examples: 'eis', 'iceland' ... Number of local networks connected to your machine. Other device name than ethX (optional). Use DHCP or static address for ethX (optional). IP address of your n'th ethernet card.

Example: 192.168.0.1 Netmask of your LAN.

Example: 255.255.255.0 Your default gateway. A default gateway is the machine that routes network traffic from and to other networks. Very often this is the router connected to the internet.

Examples: fli4l router ... Set your default gateway as point-to-point link. Number of additional routes. Additional route: network netmask gateway

Example: "192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.6.99" routes all network traffic related to network "192.168.7.0/24" to the gateway machine "192.168.6.99" Your domain name. The local domain your machine is a member of. All unqualified host names will automatically be expanded with the local domain suffix.

Example: local.network The IP-Adress of the machine that hosts the DNS-Server of your local network. A DNS-Server is required to translate host names to IP-Adresses.

Example: "127.0.0.1" the DNS-Server runs on this eisfair server. Time zone, use "CET" or "GMT" Shall PCMCIA support be activated on this machine? "yes" or "no" PCMCIA socket driver: "i82365" or "tcic" Additional options for the socket driver. Usually empty. Additional options for the PCMCIA core driver. Usually empty. Additional options for the PCMCIA card manager. Usually empty. Shall syslog-deamon be started? "yes" or "no".
Default "yes" Logrotate interval: daily, weekly, monthly.
How often shall logrotate be executed? Number of log files to save.
This is the number of log file archives that are kept on the system by logrotate, before they are outdated and removed. Force reload syslog-deamon on rotate the logfile. Logrotate interval: daily, weekly, monthly.

Default "yes" Keyboard mapping. Use "de-nodeadkeys" for german keyboards. Console font style. Screen blanking timeout.
Monitor remains on, but the screen is cleared to range:
0-60 min (0==never) Shall the system be switched off automatically after shutdown? "yes" or "no". Power off a machine running the SMP kernel? "yes" or "no". Use realmode? "yes" or "no" Number of modules to be treated. Name of the module to be treated. Possible actions are: 'option', 'alias', 'blacklist' or 'forcedstart'

- option:
This action allows you to add options (into MODULE_%_STRING=) to the module MODULE_x (which might be an alias) every time it is inserted into the kernel: whether directly (using modprobe modulename or MODULE_%_ACTION='forcedstart') or because the module being inserted depends on this module. All options are added together: they can come from an option for the module itself, for an alias, and on the command line.

- alias:
This allows you to give alternate names for a module (into MODULE_%_STRING=). For example: "my-mod" as an alias for "really_long_modulename" means you can use "modprobe my-mod" instead of "modprobe really_long_modulename".
You can also use shell-style wildcards, so "my-mod*" means that "modprobe my-mod-something" has the same effect. You can't have aliases to other aliases (that way lies madness), but aliases can have options, which will be added to any other options.
Note that modules can also contain their own aliases, which you can see using modinfo. These aliases are used as a last resort (ie. if there is no real module, install, remove, or alias command in the configuration).

- blacklist:
Modules can contain their own aliases: usually these are aliases describing the devices they support, such as "pci:123...". These "internal" aliases can be overridden by normal "alias" keywords, but there are cases where two or more modules both support the same devices, or a module invalidly claims to support a device: the blacklist keyword indicates that all of that particular module's internal aliases are to be ignored.

- startforced:
Normaly the modules will get loaded fully automatic by mechanisms like udev. In verry rare situations you may want a module to be loaded directly on startup, independent from those mechanisms or when they fail, then you can choose this. Additional string that have to be supplied when "MODULE_%_ACTION" is 'option' or 'alias'.
