OK. I did my weekend OS updates on my main rig, fireball. That involves me switching to boot runlevel and back again. When the network started, no message about going to default. It just showed it starting up and using DHCP. Looks like this: * Bringing up interface enp3s0 * dhcp ... * Running dhcpcd ... I thought of something. My NAS box is shutdown right now so can't check. I bet DHCP is set to start in the default runlevel. On my main rig it is not set to start the DHCP service at all. I suspect the NAS box finds the DHCP service first and starts the network and then finds the network service but it is already started. When it starts the network with the DHCP service, it does the default thing. I'll test that next time I boot up the NAS box. I guess no one else found a way to get the install handbook on a single page. I'll have to copy and paste I guess. That's gonna take a while. O_O Dale :-) :-)
