Hi all: I remember when I installed debian on this system before, and although I didn't keep it and went back to slackware, there was something I liked but don't know how to get in slackware, but I think it's possible. When I was running debian, I have a network cable that pops out sometimes, and when it took occasion to do this one time, the system reported that the link was down, and when I put the cable back in reported that the link was up, and at full duplex etc. How, if possible do I get this behavior to occur in slackware, I did see it during startup, but how do I get it right when it occurs after startup? Thanks much... Cheereo! -- Email services by FreedomBox. Surf the Net at the sound of your voice. www.freedombox.info
