<SIGH>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just firing up draknet and clicking "Next" on the first screen immediately clobbers /etc/resolv.conf!!! Now I remember what happened... I was helping a remote user and was just following along on my system to guide her through the screens. What ever happened to "Apply", "OK", or similar safety measures...?? This is the sort of thing that will destroy all the goodwill... as in "Just ONE f*ckup cancels out a THOUSAND 'Attaboys!'" The *general* rule should be: do NOT commit *any* changes (or blindly overwrite) until given an explicit OK from the machine's owner... Pierre
