Actually, I'd say the first way would be better. Why have dhcpcd on the machine if you're not going to use it? In any case, whenever you do decide to keep a package around but don't want it to start up automatically, it's best not to remove all of its rc?.d symlinks. If you remove them all, the packaging system will think it's unconfigured and will replace them next time it upgrades the package. If you leave even one symlink in one rc?.d directory, then it knows that the package was installed but you customized its rc symlinks (which are marked as config files and are left alone). You'll notice that update-rc.d fails with an error if you try to remove all the symlinks while the initscript still exists in init.d; I imagine it's for just that reason. You can either manually remove all the symlinks but one, or issue 'update-rc.d stop 20 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 . ' to change its status to stop in all runlevels. But still, I'd recommend just removing the package if you're not going to be using it. Do remember to change your interfaces file to use static information as previously posted. good times, -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M'
