Well, here is one (you might not like it): Make 2 (or more) entries in lilo.conf, each with a different append: append=at_home, append=away. After booting, notice that this comes up in /proc/cmdline. Therefore, wherever /etc/network/interfaces would be called from (not sure where), go: if grep -q at_home /proc/cmdline; do <use the interfaces for home> fi if grep -q at_work /proc/cmdline; do <use the iterfaces for work> fi And don't do anything for "away". I wouldn't say it's clean, but it would certainly work :) (a slightly cleaner way would be to define an actual parameter: append=interface=at_home. Then you parse that from the script and use the corresponding file. That'd be more flexible and less code.) /Y - crazy scripter -- Marbles should be kept together. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
