Could the Admins Please sticky this topic, since alot of people are going to ask very basic questiosn lie this?

to enable the nic for a one time after a boot, you can become root and simply run dhclient. in the output of dhclient it will also tell you what

to permanently setup your network interface edit the file /etc/network/interface
you can use this portion to setup the interface as static, when the vm image is copied over the ethernet often becoems eth1 and not eth0

to always use a dynamic IP add the lines

auto eht1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

if you want to assign it a static ip

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.128.254

the old su command does not work in this image, you must use as he mentioend abuove sudo -s and the password is still pandora

also if your having a hard time typing the – key and have a standard us layout its actually the / key.

My question would be how do I change the keyboard layout to US? the only information i can find on this would be to do it in x windows but I can’t find the info on how to set it up from the console.

To answer my own question

sudo -s to become root

run
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

chose Generic 101-key PC
next screen choose USA
next screen choose USA again

for the next few screens just keep clicking OK, once its done you will be able to use the standard us layout, unfortunately I am unable to read Spanish.
When its finished it will change the keymap, it will not change the language for all the OS menu’s but at least you will be able to get done what you need.
