KNetworkConf 0.6.1 - A KDE control Center Module to confiure Network settings. Juan Luis Baptiste M. Colombia, 2003 - 2005 http://www.merlinux.org/knetworkconf/ ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Introduction KNetworkConf is a TDE Control Center module to configure the Network settings in a Linux machine. I developed it because I couldn't find any application to do this from within KDE, and I think this is a "must have" app for a serious Desktop Enviroment like KDE. KNetworkConf features: * Configure installed network devices (you can't add new ones for now) in basic and advanced mode (ie. don't auto configure broadcast and netmask values). * Autodetection of wireless interfaces. * Configure the default gateway and gateway device. * Configure host and domain names. * Add/remove DNS servers (/etc/resolv.conf). * Add/Remove known Hosts (/etc/hosts). KNetworkConf works now in 15 different platforms: * BlackPanther OS * Conectiva Linux * Debian Linux * Fedora Linux * FreeBSD * Gentoo Linux * Mandriva Linux * OpenNA Linux * Polish Linux Distribution * Red Hat Linux * Slackware Linux * Specifix Linux * TurboLinux * Vine Linux KNetworkConf uses the Gnome System Tools (gst) (http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/) network backend to find out the network values in a platform-independient manner. This backends are a bunch of perl scripts that use XML files to communicate with different frontends. NOTE:You don't need to have GNOME nor GST installed AT ALL to run KNetworkConf. The network backend comes included. 2. Requirements * KDE 3.1.x * Qt 3.1.x * Perl * libxml * autoconf > 2.5x/automake > 1.6 3. Installation For installation instructions, please see the INSTALL file, but for a quick start you can do: ./configure make su root make istall Mandriva users must add --prefix=/usr to the configure script to install the files in the correct path and run update-menus after make install. 4.
