Would the following 2 lines good enough for eth0, without relying on pump? # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp thanks PS. How does my Debian Sarge know which DHCP client that I uses, ie, which one to use to talk to DHCP server? _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/
