I can't help you with that, I've never been able to figure out how to use the network bootscript. I have always found it easier to work out the commands needed to bring up the network connection and then put those commands in my own "network" bootscript > While the message itself isn't the > problem, the real problem is that the link is indeed unusable until that > message appears.

The ntp bootscript never hangs for me, even if there's no network connection ntpd starts and then bind bitches into the sys.log about the network being unreachable. Try removing the symlinks that start those scripts so that you can at least get to a command prompt and then see if you can bring up the interface by hand Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
