I restarted it again and it ip addr show said it didn't have an ip address. I then restarted it again and it gave me the desired IP. How strange! How do I I refresh the ip address so I do not need to reboot the computer if this happens again? I would think it might be 'ip addr renew' or something like that but the man page for 'ip' doesn't indicate that.

Mike, 169.254.0.0/16 is telling you:
I can't get any other IP addrss.
169.254.0.0/16 is a special network, look at it at the WEB.
Check your link and your DHCO server.

I am all done with the linux from scratch base install but before I go on
to beyond linux from scratch the recomendation is to install some programs
first. (lynx, gpm, sudo, openssl, openssh, wget, and parted)
I installed lynx with no problems. Then, after unpacking gpm, and after I
cd into the gpm directory, the terminal froze. I couldn't <enter> nor <^C>.
I shut the terminal down and then started another one and now I can't ssh
into the lfs box. I then just restarted the lfs box and then ran 'ip addr
show' and it says the ip address isn't what it was. It was 192.168.0.14 but
now it is 169.254.11.37/16 .
Two questions,
Why did it change from one private address to another and in another subnet?
I'm thinking I'm going to need to start over from the beginning; is that so?
Well, I guess three questions:
How could I ssh into this network or else reassign the ip to something in
the 192.168.x.y range
