The shared hosts file has been a feature here since the second came online it round '00 to run an harbor freight milling machine, And I'm not sure in a pi's config, where to put the net.ifnames=0. /boot/cmdline.txt maybe? You have grub to splice all that together, but the pi's are u-boot, as most of the arm stuff is. But with the pi4 coming online, with 4Gigs a dram, I'd sure like to see grub-2 ported to arms. That would greatly simplicate kernel swapping. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
