To me, it means just one more change while trying to get your networking to work. Your OP finished with "It does not work and anyway it does not seem to be what I want..." and "I suspect that the solution is easier than what I'm trying to do...". Again, to me, that suggests that after settling on a better, permanent solution to your problem, you would roll back the other changes that you made along the way. > The context is that I was not using any > desktop manager. My understanding of this statement is that "the context" is what is described in your OP. As you said you "switched boot target to text", I would assume you originally had a different target, likely a DM, and that you might revert back to it after solving the problem. Cheers, David.
