After setup...

[Paul]

I have install Sarge using instructions from http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge, everything was great! And when I try to edit file /etc/network/interfaces/, I've get the magic answer: Permission denied! When I try call other files, I haven't other answer. What's this problem? Root have full permissions default, but system say me "get out!" Why?
Serriously, how can I to continue my work?

[till]

Please try first the command "su" to go to root (and to make shure your really root).
Then use an editor like "vi" to edit the config file. It was reported taht some other editors (mostly KDE or Gnome GUI Editors) are giving permission denied errors on files even for the root user.

You could also just use pico.

It's much easier than vi but die-hard vi-ers will most probably argue with me.

Cheers

Thanks, guys! I can do it using pico or nano. But I'm very yung linuxoid. Wait for more questions from me, OK?

If I use 2 network adaptors (eth0 for Internet, eth1 for LAN), should I type all IP-addresses etc. in file /etc/network/interfaces or create different files?

No, it's still /etc/network/interfaces. You have sections in it for lo and eth0, so simply create a new section for eth1.
