That's not a Debian Live issue, per se. The nonetworking option governs boot-time network configuration. KDE and GNOME use NetworkManager by default, and if it detects no /etc/network/interfaces configuration, it will "take over", allowing the user to establish network connections. If you want to prevent that, don't include network-manager among your packages lists. Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
