[laptop-discuss] Re: Re: Re: inetmenu (1.9) and shutdown hang?

[Mike Ramchand]

Hi all,

I'm on build 48 now, and I still don't get it. I am using Caper's frkit 
though, so that MIGHT make a difference.

inetmenu deconfigures your interface if you haven't done so on the way 
down, so that shouldn't be an issue. What nameservice are you using? I 
almost never use NIS, and use DHCP-NoNIS.

Very happy to fix it, but I can't reproduce the problem. :-(
