Recently I was at sea with internet access via a very expensive satellite
connection, so used V'box just to download newsgroup-like messages for reading
offline.
When then offline I found that V'box would not start up because there was
no network 'host interface' available, so I had to disable the V'box interface
to allow it to start.
Then later on that change had to be reversed (and the correct ethx
re-selected) to go back online, and so on...
Could V'box - in such interface-less situations - just ask if the user wishes to
proceed without a network connection, rather than fail to start at all?
