Since route and other things *are* getting set, I have the same strong |
| 21 |
suspicion Bill and YoYo have... DNS is likely not getting set properly |
| 22 |
in /etc/resolv.conf and, barring that, something may be amiss with |
| 23 |
routing itself, which would be far less likely, but would be exposed |
| 24 |
by YoYo's recommendations there. As for why it works if handled very |
| 25 |
early, but not if brought up later, that seems odd to me, but... |
| 26 |
"saved a bunch of likely files across the partition from ubuntu" ... |
| 27 |
did that include dropping them into place on the Gentoo side, and was |
| 28 |
resolv.conf included in that? |
