Hi to all, I have a simmilar problem like Mace had, so i have installed a Slackware 9.0 distribution on one PC.I have win2k on a second PC, and i connect to the internet wia dsl with the computer running with win2k.I want to enable the slackware machine to connect to the internet through the win2k PC.I've enabled the sharing option in windows so that there actually such a connection can be made, but on the slackware PC i still don't have internet.It has a local network, when i ping to the win2k PC everything is ok, the eth connection is also ok but the slackware PC cannot get out from the local network to the internet.I'm not really sure what to do next, in windows the local area connection is with static IP 192.168.0.1 because it needs this address to share the internet connection.I've tried with different addresses on the linux machin but no success, it just stays in the local network behind the win2k PC.Can someone help me?thanks

switch_root
SWITCH_ROOT(8) System Administration SWITCH_ROOT(8)
NAME
switch_root - switch to another filesystem as the root of the mount tree
SYNOPSIS
switch_root [-hV]
switch_root newroot init [arg...]
DESCRIPTION
switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev, /sys and /run to newroot and makes newroot the new root filesystem and starts init process.
WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
RETURN VALUE
switch_root returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.
NOTES
switch_root will fail to function if newroot is not the root of a mount. If you want to switch root into a directory that does not meet
this requirement then you can first use a bind-mounting trick to turn any directory into a mount point:
mount --bind $DIR $DIR
SEE ALSO
chroot(2), init(8), mkinitrd(8), mount(8)

AVAILABILITY
The switch_root command is part of the util-linux package and is available from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
