Hi. Let me get into this one, because I want to also get rid of it...
I can't really take a screen shot, because the system is booting, but maybe I can take a picture of it. Anyway, it comes up and ask you if you want to setup the network again or if you want to use the previous settings. It just installed Debian yesterday and it came after I had setup and downloaded all the files from the network. I rebooted and there it was... if you don't choose something, it just hangs there and does nothing...
sudo dpkg --remove netenv
good times,
Vineet
I also have this window or menu coming up at boot. I have just been hitting return and letting the bootup finish. The menu appeared after I had tried to reconfigure the system to get out. Since I'm now able to use dialup to my ISP, I have just worked around it until I learned more.

Do I need to make any simple entries into the iptables just to tidy things up? (I have shorewall installed, but something claims I have no ppp support and shoudl configure ppp0.) What do I need to save whenever sarge goes stable?

The dummy0 interface is supposed to be part of my home ethernet. The ppp0 interface is obviously my dialup. In the future I would like to be able sway the ppp0 interface with a DSL provider while keeping the old configuration.
Len, I shall be eagerly anticipating your post about how you shape up your system since I appear to have similar concerns.
Now that I'm able to dialup and use things, I've been reluctant to make big changes.
If I do nothing else, let me wish all here a Happy and prosperous New Year! And thanks for the continuing discussion on the details and general philosophy of using Debian systems!
