@MichaelMrozek - yeah I saw that it didn't show them until yesterday. I was one of the ones confused, b/c I 'd have to keep clicking the flag number on the toolbar to see if there were any new ones for me to review. It works better now. Would still be better if the number went to 0 when I was done reviewing.
Sadly installers for Debian are usually poorly documented, I need one that any linux beginner could mod without needing help, it also need to be intuitive enough when they do the installation.
So far I came across debian-installer with a documentation worth the garbage bin, lmde installer being ...
@ppr - As a Redhat/Fedora/CentOS user for 20+ years this pains me to say but Ubuntu has it's own SE site for very good reasons, whereas the other Linux distros do not need to have their own.
@strugee @slm @Gilles A good point is to say thatt Debian is the mother of a lot of distro. So, there should be a stackexchange website for Debian and derivates. Ubuntu is more popular so there is a website but a lot of question in askubuntu are (in fact) question about debian (about apt in particular).
@ppr ask.ubuntu is really so that the less clueful ubuntu users go over there and stop bothering the rest of us. though that is not how it is usually described. :-)
@ppr - this site has mustered ~30K Q's since inception, all a Debian and/or Fedora site would do is dilute this further. Ubuntu is a special case given it's targetting more of the newbie market, whereas this site targets both, with a slant more to the upper end. Don't let the lineage of distros play into the Q of if a distro merits it's on SE site or not. It has nothing to do with the decision. The gauge should be the nature of the questions/users and the volume of Q's nothing more!
the only reason i can think for a more specialist site is that more specialist debian questions might seem more natural. but it is unclear whether there would be a more specialist/advanced community for that site. I doubt it.
@FaheemMitha Regenerate what? If you change the card, the new one will automatically be added to 70-persistent-net.rules. If you change e.g., the name in 70-persistent-net.rules, you need to maybe reload udev, and then the change will happen the next time udev gets a device added message from the kernel (easy for a USB device, not so much for PCI. rmmod and insmod will do it. Or reboot). Or probably if you use udevadm
@derobert Ok. The scenario is that the current ethernet card will be removed and a different ethernet card added. with a change in interfact from pci to pcie.
would the old card entry be removed and the new card entry be added automatically?
