There should be a section like:

# start IP on the LAN.  It's commented out to avoid a long timeout
# on startup waiting for DHCP.
#
# If your system has DHCP
#
#if(! test -e /net/ipifc/0/ctl)
#	ip/ipconfig >/dev/null >[2=1]
#
# Otherwise use
#
#if(! test -e /net/ipifc/0/ctl)
#	ip/ipconfig -g your-gateway your-ip-address your-subnet-mask >/dev/null >[2=1]

uncomment the lines

if(! test -e /net/ipifc/0/ctl)
	ip/ipconfig >/dev/null >[2=1]

and you can get rid of the >/dev/null >[2=1]
if you want to see any errors that occur.

It's actually spelled ip/ipconfig:

; grep ipconfig /bin/termrc.v4
	ip/ipconfig >/dev/null >[2=1]
#	ip/ipconfig -g your-gateway your-ip-address your-subnet-mask >/dev/null >[2=1]

I dont even have an ip/config line in the file
the closest thing I have is test -e /net/ipifc/0/ctl
I don`t mean to bother you, if you have a link I should read I would be more
than
happpy to do so.

You need to edit /rc/bin/termrc to uncomment
the ip/ipconfig line.  That will run dhcp on your
ethernet card at boot time.  The network config
used during the install doesn't carry over, though
it probably should.

Thank you for your quick response. One more for now. I also am losing my
serial mouse, maybe the mouse.
I have a ps/2 mouse but it`s only two buttons. Is there three button
emulation ? Or should I just but a new three button ps/2 ?

Buy a new three button ps/2.
You can use a two-button ps/2 and
simulate the middle button with shift-right-button
but it's just not the same, especially when you're
trying to use chording in rio or acme.

I`m just getting started. I can use dhcp to install but seem to lose
my net config after boot logging in as glenda. I`m I just stupid, cause I
can`t find clear docs on initial setup proceedure.
Should I ban the manuals , or is it the same as the online docs?
