Welcome to IWETHEY!

New lo (and bug, incidentally)

I saw the problem and recognized, it, but kept losing my posts here from a w3m session. I'll try to track this down further.

\r\n\r\n

I'm not sure what the cause of the unconfigured lo was, but I've seen this show up from time to time, I don't believe the ifupdown package configures /etc/network/interfaces in all instances. If any other Debian types know where this configuration is initated from normally (as opposed to manually) please share.

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?\r\n

New Re: lo (and bug, incidentally)
Yes... there's no way I would have disabled loopback... and being a dedicated ViM user, I know that I didn't kill that in interfaces. The thing I was going yikes about was that I never noticed that loopback didn't have an address defined in the output of ifconfig... I can't believe that I looked over that output so many times without noticing that. Forest -> Trees, I guess.

It's easy to miss. I'm pretty much conditioned to look for it. ;-)
