linux network configruation wizard

i build linux Virtual appliance and i want to run wizard to configure the network interface at the first time startup
wizard like that run at linux installation wizard

does any one has any suggestion ?

  • CentOS (and by extension Red Hat) systems, have a great tool for this:

    /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig

    It basically forces you to reconfigure timezone/network/name etc on startup. Designed for when you move a server.

    Yeah.. found that out by accident.. lol

    DESCRIPTION sys-unconfig provides a simple method of reconfiguring a system in a new enviroment. Upon executing sys-unconfig will halt your system, and run the following configuration programs at boot: passwd (to change the root password), netconfig, timeconfig, kbdconfig, authconfig, and ntsysv.

    FILES /.unconfigured The presence of this file will cause /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to run the programs mentioned above.

    Prix : he is looking for ubuntu tools, take a look at the question and comments.
    Grizly : true, forgot to look at the tag.. my bad.

  • Looks like there's no such wizard in ubuntu. You can use any method provided in this wiki: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Networking
