choosing apps at startup

[sladiwala]

i do not want the interface "eth0" to start up at boot up time. how do i do so?

[pbharris]

a very dirty way i can think of is to make sure the module does not get loaded. edit modules.conf (or conf.modules) and delete the line which refers to eth0.

a better way would be to find out which ifup script takes care of this and stop to from happening automatically.
