To the best of my knowledge there is no laptop-specific stuff going on in the postinst or config scripts, so it really shouldn't matter. I'd just like to verify that the interface question gets asked when debconf is at a medium priority and that there isn't a random IP address preseeded or something.

You can use that debconf-communicate stuff to check after purging though. regards Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
