If you never want net.eth0 to start, you could of course simply delete /etc/init.d/net.eth0. Another way to make net.eth0 NOT start is to modify /etc/conf.d/rc: ,----[ /etc/conf.d/rc ] | # Some people want a finer grain over hotplug/coldplug. RC_PLUG_SERVICES is a | # list of services that are matched in order, either allowing or not. By | # default we allow services through as RC_COLDPLUG/RC_HOTPLUG has to be yes | # anyway. | # Example - RC_PLUG_SERVICES="net.wlan !net.*" | # This allows net.wlan and any service not matching net.* to be plugged. | | RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth*" `---- That's what I do at home as well. Works very fine. Alexander Skwar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
