Folks,
As I dig more into the whole question of installing alternate init

So far as I can tell, the firewall package is only installing itself after
the network has already come up. From what reading I've done, this is the
wrong order. How can I correct that order after the package has been

After seeing your message, I have tried apt-file list gettext and it

Is there a special configuration to allow apt-file to show or search
