And if my well aged wet ram is to be trusted, it used to do a lot more
than it is now, only setting two items in the locales now. Or its been
stripped to do the bare minimum on a rock64/arm64. Dunno which, but its
a dissapointment, just like the networking is broken in that it cannot
apply a gateway to a static setup without doing a separate command with
route once its booted. Putting the gateway address into /e/n/i.d/eth0 is
simply ignored. I even moved it to /e/n/i, no effect. Yesterday I tried
changing the static address, took 3 powerdown reboots to actually get
that to take, and 2 reboots to restore the original which was easier
than editing every /e/hosts file on my local network. A networking
restart totally ignores anything you do in /e/n/i. Sounds crazy and
impossible, but thats how it works here. Depressing is what it is....
