I'm having trouble locating a clearly written doc an setting up a Redhat 9
box for IPv6. The install assumes IPv4, and the network management GUI is
not helpful.

Anyone else done this or at least found a well written doc on the subject
(The Howto is a bit outdated).

Thanks,
Chris

Could be because most of planet Earth is still using ipv4 and have
enough problems setting it up -- imagine the mass hysteria when ipv6
is forced upon them ;-)

What's with the sudden interest in IPv6 the last couple of weeks --
classroom into practise? ;-)

All Linux IP(v4 mostly) runs through:
/usr/share/doc/iproute?2.4.7/ip?cref.ps
which is terse and mind boggling, so try:
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.ipv6-tunnel.html
http://www.policyrouting.org/iproute2-toc.html
http://www.linux-ipv6.org/ -> all ipv6 you can (com)pile into Linux

No reflection on the curious or adherents, but I am beginning to think
that IPv6 is the wrong solution to the wrong problem -- who wants
every computer on planet Earth to be publicly addressable and
accessible? Seems an awful lot of work for a virtual IP network, IMO.
Among other complaints as well ... the Redmond fog is rolling in.
