I'm not sure you can really do much for newly-installed systems... I think the ipv6 addresses in /etc/hosts similarly could only be automatically added on new installs. I could be wrong about that though. > (Also, rootskel has nothing at all to do with /etc/modules, and loop is > not listed in /etc/modules on newly installed systems.) Weird. My recently-built-from-etch-installer-server got the loop module in its /etc/modules, and I didn't put it there. On the other hand, it's ipv6 interfaces are brought up by static inet6 stanzas in /e/n/interfaces (and one by tspc) and it hasn't needed to have ipv6 modprobed by hand at all. Anyway, I must have seen /etc/modules.conf in rootskel and brainfarted... So maybe hw-detect? -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, B.Sc, LPI, MCSE On-hiatus Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Pobox.Com Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
