Also the /etc/resolv.conf situation is really sub-optimal as it is already in Wheezy, let me explain: I can understand the advantages of /etc/network/interfaces, but I would expect at least one of the manpages indicated in the generated file notice to detail how to deactivate this behavior and have /etc/resolv.conf generated by hand or another script. Almost a pattern? Once again, no planned way to opt-out from complexity. Adding to the discourse on the general posture and even principles Devuan should stand for: I wish we can formulate that if in Devuan or even in what we inherited from Debian are default wrappers on top of base file, there must be always an easy way to switch them off and circumvent them. This should be the case also with grub and other similar clusterf*. Back to your problem, at the very least there should be a way to deactivate default DNS configuration and simply have *no dns configured* This way there could be whatever pre-seed script to set a default even if there is no default-DNS specific directive. ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
