Well... "/sbin/ifconfig/ host localhost" doesn't seem to work. After a
little while in the man pages, I tried "/sbin/ifconfig/" and the answer was
empty. Every other try resulted in a 'syntax error'-like message. Sorry if
this is not enough for you.
I think you're right when you say that my kernel isn't correctly
configured. I compiled a new one, with minimal network support (just
network and IP support). Now one thing I am sure is that I don't know what
to do to configure the "dummy net interface". You'll have to be patient
with me on that.
Where can I read something (HOWTO or other) that explain me simply what to
do now ? I have a 'network configuration' program in my menus (RH 5.2,
2.0.35 (don't applied the patches !)), with a '127.0.0.1
localhost.localdomain' line, but what do I do with it ?
Please, answer fast, I WANT TO PLAY FREECIV !!!!!!!!!!!!!
(BTW, in terms of speed, you impress me. Not in hollidays ?)

What about Debian ? Are the packages cool to manage ?
