[system-tools]extend gst to morphix liveCD (part2)

[olivier evalet <evaleto programmers ch>]

Hi Carlo,

Sorry for the delay but I'm working on several subjects of morphix ....

About the gst customisation for morphix I have some questions:

> of the arg passed (HOSTNAME, that is) and "hostname" is the xml tag in

I have read both functions and all needed files are in my distrib except 
 /etc/pump.conf.

I can create a new interface eth0 in shell and the nework work well. But 
 with the network-admin it doesn't work. When I add a new interface I 
can't activate it (with activate button).If I apply the configuration, 
the interface is not activated and the X server is broken ???
After quitting the application (click apply and validate) the interface 
eth0 is up (I can see with ifconfig) the network work but I can't start 
a new X application??

So my questions are :
1) what the app does when I click to activate  an interface?
2) What the app does when I click the validate button for quitting
3) Do you have an idea of the broken Xserver
4) Must I start some service for the configuration (for example in the 
livecd the syslogd is not started, only the portmap and cupsd are started)


My plan is to check the network for the interface,  ppp 56k modem and 
ppp for usb adsl.
