What are you trying to solve? You can configure your boot system to only start CFEngine in run level 3, and not any earlier. You can configure your boot system (init.d) to bring up CFEngine AFTER network services are started. You can also configure CFEngine to abort under certain conditions (such as "/etc/init.d/network status" returns "stopped"). When I don't have networking up but still want to play with CFEngine, I make sure to set hosts in /etc/nsswitch.conf to files only, so CFEngine won't waste my time trying to do DNS lookups. Does any of that help? If not, could you tell us more about what you are trying to do?
