But I don't install 5.x often enough and thought I was just seeing a fluke in the way my system installed. Seeing it for third time is just too many flukes. Last night I installed 5.2 RC2 on my shiny new Compaq Presario 2195US. When it rebooted the first time, DHCP gave me my IP address and default route but resolv.conf did not exist. To fix, I touched /etc/resolv.conf and restarted dhclient. My DHCP server is a Linksys WAP/Router/4-port switch, but I don't think the DHCP server is material to the issue. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org
