[Grml] Re: Re: disable ipv6(OT)

[Martin Yazdzik]

Dear M and friends,

Just a note from the noob lurkers - way OT -

this sutff, which we do not even know how to ask helps us all a lot, and one 
of the best reasons for using grml is the fact that the mailing list is so 
informative and courteous.

I, too, after blacklisting the ipv6 module get the same error iwth rmmod, but, 
for a laptop user, ever time I reconnect to a different network, and so on, 
just the blacklisting makes things go much faster.  Of course, I do not know 
why....


We always used "KDE_NO_IPV6=true" as a konqueror modification, because 
otherwise it is unbearabl7 langsam, but ifup just blazes by after the 
blacklisting of the ipv6 module.


Thanks to tong for all the questions, and to mika and team  for the answers.


When I get back to the real world, I'll do a complete install of 8.

A grateful martin greets you from the boondocks of the US and Canada.
