Hi Bruce, in Devuan minimal-live there is a simple dialog tool called "setnet.sh" which helps with basic network setup. It's not yet in the Devuan repos (and that's mainly my fault: wil put it in experimental tonight), but you can get the deb package here: http://kalos.mine.nu/setnet Nothing special, veryt minimal, and it might not be amenable to everyone's taste, but any feedback is welcome :) My2Cents KatolaZ -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - GLUGCT -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ]
