Here its not, and because I can't get a gateway assigned, I can't even
update it, it cannot get past my router and out on the net. And I just
discovered that I can't even change eth0's address by
editing /etc/interfaces.d/eth0 and restarting the networking with the
service command.
Thanks Alan. I'm going to go lose another pint of blood, removing and
reinstalling the rusty mower deck on my old john deere, required to
change the decks drive belt. I found out yesterday the book spec for the
belt is at least 5" too long. So I have to do it all over again today.
I think I'll send john deere an invoice for a pint of blood.
