<div>hello,</div>
<div>i want to use a fedora box as a server and remove at some point the monitor.</div>
<div>for that, i need to be able to reboot it so it will start everything smoothly.</div>
<div>however, i noticed that currently whenever i turn on the computer, i have to go to the administration -> network and specifically "Activate" the network ethernet device.</div>
<div>in addition, i have to restart httpd, mysqld and other servers which i want to be started automatically.</div>
<div>i know the latter i can do in /etc/init.d/rc.local or something like that... but how can i make sure that the ethernet gets activated automatically? this is necessary, because otherwise i cannot ssh to the computer and need a console access.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks</div>
