I think this could do the trick: Enable and configure the network module with an IP within the same network as your old machine. Save changes. Edit and modify /etc/network/interfaces, e.g: add a comment, save the file. Now you will be able to restore your backup and eBox shouldn't modify /etc/network/interfaces without your permission. If you want to actually modify /etc/network/interfaces, disabl and enable the network module and save changes. You will be asked to go ahead with the /etc/network/interfaces. _______________________________________________ Ebox-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.warp.es/mailman/listinfo/ebox-user
