[gentoo-user] net.eth0 device initiated services

2007-01-03 Thread Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Hi, I have /etc/init.d/net.eth0. I dont want it to be launch at boot, but I dont want to delete it either because it eases some things when I want to bring eth0 up. My problem is although i del it from the boot process with rc-update, net.eth0 is attempted to be brought up by some other tool.
