Hello,
I am wondering what netcfg-static is good for. Looks like it is an (outdated)
subset of the more generic netcfg. Unfortunately, even the common code of the
two programs seem to have diverged over time (no wonder, duplicated code
almost always suffers from this disease).
Given that the netc

Hello,
I am somewhat confused about the naming of the ppp provider file. On
debian systems it used to be /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider at least since
sarge. On ubuntu, it used to be the same.
But when in the sources (retrieved with "apt-get source ppp-udeb") I
find no trace of this file. There
patch was attached to the bug tracker.)

All good and well. But where do I assign the mount point for the

After installation, I want to configure the proxy settings for all the

Hello!
I noticed that shutdown from scripts in /etc/rcS.d don't really work.
For example, when fsck for some filesystems fails at startup, you
are thrown into a shell to fix the problem. From that shell, you
have no chance to make a proper reboot. I have tried:
- shutdown -r now
- init 6
