first: my intention is *not* to start another epic thread since i am always the unholy prick here after i lose patience maybe others should also reconsider *not* hijacking threads by * change the subject in a reply which is *uneccaptable* especially if the subjet contained the initial question because all following replies inherit the change * explain the world that it needs something in a evangelic style which is my decision as admin and not my question * and later even change a thread with a *clear* question in a complete different direction and starting their own proposals * in general: *do not* change subjects on mailing-lists if you intentionally change the direction start your own thread if people call me rude, short-temperedly, an asshole and whatelse the thread below explains perfectly how that comes if a simple one-line question ends in an epic off-topic discussion _____________________________________ Jul 07, 2013; 6:18pm http://fedora.12.x6.nabble.com/F19-ipv6disable-1-as-boot-param-ignored-td5008547.html well, the subject had a typo because the dot was missing and in the kernel line is for sure "ipv6.disable=1" since 1.5 years Jul 09, 2013; 10:58am the thread started to become evangelic and went a complete wrong direction if i ask how can i continue to disable ipv6 *entirely* than the answer below is nothing else than a effrontery __________________________________________ Once in a while I see people suggesting the disabling of IPv6 to cope with some issue. My I _kindly_ ask not to do that anymore? Even though such trick might take away the symptoms for you and me, it is a technical overkill and only tackles the symptoms. Lately I read a message on another M.L. from someone who only gets an IPv6 address from his provider, and gets his connection to legacy sites by means on 4in6 tunneling. On behalf of those people, "disabling v6" simply means: switch of your entire network. If an application / service cannot cope with v6, the solution should be with that application, not by mutilating the network stack ;-)
