Thanks all - learn something everyday: didn't know that is what rc 
referred to.

Anyway, purged those using Brian's dpkg method rebooted ... and still no 
resolv.conf file.

So, Hans suggested that I delete the symlink to resolvconf, but 
resolvconf isn't installed.  However, since its config files are there I 
wonder if a symlink was created?

Are there other options that might explain and remedy why the 
/etc/resolv.conf file is being erased at shutdown/ reboot.  It is 
definitely this file that is the critical piece here, because when ever 
I repopulate the file connectivity is restored.  How do I keep that file 
immutable? Will changing permissions help across shutdowns?

Cheers
