[plug] Mandrake 10.1 boot up [failure]

[Paul and Paula]

Hiya everybody - this is my first attempt at writing to PLUG, so I hope this 
work right.

I have been using Mandrake 10.0 and had the same problem with the ethernet 
port.  There is a discussion somewhere about this that I found on the web, 
and the problem is simply the startup order of the ethernet port.  I 
reconfigurered RC....something... and copied the eth0 line to the end of the 
file, and then it always passed.  Unfortunately I have lost my Mandrake 
installation so I cant publish what I did.  I will go hunting again when I 
resurect my linux machine.

hope this helps
Paul
