Andrea, I have just installed etch and excluded /rm '/etc/udev/rules.d/ z25_persistent-net.rules' from the image and then everything is oke. But on some hosts we have more interfaces and then the recreation of this file gives the wrong interface order. I mean when you boot it is eth0 but when the kernel runs it can be eth1 and systemconfigurator creates a entry for eth0. So the host is not reachable any more over the net, see the link below for explanation: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/udev.htm what i now want to do, and i do not have a script yet. Is in a post- install script: - Create the entry in ''/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules' eg: {{{ # PCI device 0x8086:0x1076 (e1000) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:13:72:53:2c:2d", NAME="boot-net" }}} - Create an entry,depends on IP-method, in /etc/network/interfaces {{{ auto boot-net iface boot-net inet dhcp }}} Regards -- Bas van der Vlies [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
