Dear Steven, Thanks! It sounds plausible. Can you give me a bit more detail (or a reference) on how to do that, please? As I recall from reading, the number-order in a particular run level will determine the event ordering, but in what level should networking start, and where do I find the lin

Did you enter the IP of the DNS server of your ISP into the resolv.conf as Isuggested earlier? Jan As I mentioned previously in the thread (I think I did, any way: I've been known to be wrong.), the IP address of the ISP is sent to me when the link is activated. So, there isn't one to input. The

Thanks Joe, It works quite well, only "awk '{print $1}'" also shows the "/unknown" part that is appended to the packages names. For example: libsnmp5/unknown unzip/unknown cpio/unknown Because of this dpkg cannot handle this. Can you tell me how I can exclude that "/unknown" part? Thanks a lot
