Ahhh, I thought /mnt/kd/rc.conf was copied to /tmp/etc/rc.conf, but now I see it is linked. With the current AstLinux design, Guy, and others using my latest altweb with the Network tab here are a few tips: 1) When you click "Save Settings" in the Network tab, a file gui.network.conf is created in the directory /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/ Confirm it is there and take a peek at it if you wish. 2) Next, rename (not copy) your rc.conf file to rc.conf.d/user.conf, ie. # mv /mnt/kd/rc.conf /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf 3) Finally, edit your user.conf and delete almost everything; leaving only variable definitions (and comments) that are different from the default and not defined in gui.network.conf. For many, this may only be HTTPSDIR="/mnt/kd/altweb" or your chosen altweb location. Note that anything defined in user.conf will override either the defaults in /stat/etc/rc.conf or settings in gui.network.conf. This applies to AstLinux 0.4.X and later. Hope this is clear.
