Hello, I installed potato from a CD set from May 15th on a AMD K6/200 (desperato) yesterday (actually I forgot the CD 2 and had to install a few packages from the (ISDN) network). Everything went smooth, except login in from xdm (to KDE) was extremely slow. After a while, I found out that the problem was the missing loopback device. On an upgraded potato (rakete) system I found in /etc/init.d/network:
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 route add -net 127.0.0.0 but the new system has no network file. Interestingly the network file is not known on the upgraded system: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -S /etc/init.d/network dpkg: /etc/init.d/network not found. At the end, I added the two lines from above in /etc/init.d/networking in the newly installed system and everything worked. But I am wondering now, where the loopback device should be configured, when everything in the installation goes right. Thank you. -- Rainer Dorsch Abt.
