Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist It would be really cool if during an install you could be prompted to name the various network interfaces for use with nameif. Maybe this question would only occur if you had more than one interface or were in expert mode.
"You appear to have more than one network interface. Would you like to change their default names to something more meaningful to help you differentiate them?" yes/no "Select the interface to name" interfaces listed with MAC address, driver name, and lspci data "Enter a new name for the interface" textfield and for extra credit maybe even a screen that helps you determine which is which based on link state (and you can plug/unplug to determine). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Thanks, -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
