Thanks for your answer, Steve. However I do not know if that
would help me --- you have just eth0, right? I have eth0:1, eth0:2,
eth0:3, and eth1 (a wireless link) --- yes, I did not mention this
before. I do not want to enable any of them at startup by default,
because most probably it will be the wrong one.
Which brings me to another question: I'd like also the boot
process to stop and ask me "do you network and, if so, which
interface"? But I do not want to fiddle around with the startup
scripts, because a reinstall would force me to redo the work. Is
there any option in any configuration file which would allow me to do
this? Setting that option would be a minimal effort.
