That's only the beginning for the necessary changes. I'm running mdev on this machine, so it won't affect me, but here goes... [d531][root][~] grep -rl eth[0-9] /etc/* /etc/conf.d/net /etc/conf.d/network /etc/conf.d/netmount /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf /etc/hibernate/common.conf /etc/rc.conf I've eliminated some specific stuff that only I do. * /etc/conf.d/net Is going to have to be modified by users. * I believe /etc/conf.d/network is a doc file for /etc/conf.d/net. * /etc/conf.d/netmount Who changes that? * /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf It's an app, but may require changes. * /etc/hibernate/common.conf It's an app, but may require changes. * /etc/rc.conf Is going to have to be modified by users. "Fun" for users, and app upstreams. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
