Yes, I did choose the easy way this sunday morning... I still have a small annoyance: After booting a box pops up (without telling me which program is responsible for it) saying: Choose your current network-environment ! <new> <set_up_new_environment> <OK> <Cancel> Even if I choose <Cancel> things seem to work fine, though. Grepping for 'Choose your current network-environment' leads to /sbin/netenv I don't know why this is called. I want to get rid of it, how?
