The original idea I presume was that after it copies over the DHCP it would create this file to turn off the process and only do it on the first boot, but in my case, that file never got created, and all my work setting up static IP was over-written each time. Creating this file solved the problem. Martin, would you like me to file a "bug" on this? Tony Tony Pearson Senior Storage Consultant, IBM System Storage?
