Well, I guess your situation is not really the general setup, so making it easier for you would mean making it harder for almost everybody else. There *are* easy work-arounds available - either do expert mode setup which prompts you for this or I think there is a way to disable DCHP via a boot option, you might want to check on those. cheers, Michael -- Michael Banck Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
