It seems that all the upgraded systems use /etc/init.d/network, e.g. #! /bin/sh ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 IPADDR=129.69.183.16 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=129.69.183.0 BROADCAST=129.69.183.255 GATEWAY=129.69.183.254 ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} route add -net ${NETWORK} [ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1 Is the user supposed to migrate the settings manually from /etc/init.d/network to /etc/network/interfaces? If yes, this should be documented in the upgrade release notes. Rainer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-testing-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
