This is exactly what this bug is about. I installed my system three days ago, on 2007-01-16, using the daily build netinst.iso and I did not create /etc/networks myself.

See the "base-installer" script in the netcfg source package: #!/bin/sh -e # Copy all relevant networking-related files to /target. for file in /etc/network/interfaces /etc/networks /etc/hostname /etc/resolv.conf /etc/hosts; do if [ -f "$file" ]; then mkdir /target/$(dirname $file) -p cp $file /target/$file fi done and also function netcfg_write_static() in static.c: if ((fp = file_open(NETWORKS_FILE, "w"))) { fprintf(fp, "localnet %s\n", inet_ntop (AF_INET, &network, ptr1, sizeof (ptr1))); fclose(fp); } [...] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
