Hi Kenny. Well that command doesn't work, so the package isn't installed. I believe that package was lost during my first failed recover attempt. I will have to run apt-get check when I get back to the machine. I also used pump with the ifup script. Speaking of which, do the ifup/ifdown scripts come with the pump pkg? Bc when I did the initial install who knows how long ago, those scripts used pump. I know this because when I modified something in pump.conf, the changes would take effect once I ran ifdown/ifup to reconfigure eth0. So for now at least I am looking at reinstalling pump and dhclient. > Hi. The file it's complaining about is part of dhcp-client.
