I’m setting up a laptop for my companies president. He likes techy things and asked me to setup a linux/winxp dual boot for him to play with and compare.
So I have it all setup, I’ve got a nearly apples to apples setup running (except the windows partition is available under Linux but not vice versa).
The biggest thing holding me back is eth0, w/o a cable connected you get a bunch of ugly DHCP connection junk on startup and it takes a long time to time out. This will almost NEVER be connected, but I don’t want to just remove the auto setup for that interface in case someday he does plug it into something…
So is there a way with the /etc/interfaces stuff to only try to auto-configure eth0 if there is a cable plugged in?
