It is not showing up by not being, quoth I Zen-like.
Seriously, after updating netcfg using the intel rpm on the errata page,
the netconfig window showed -no- interfaces. Blank, nothing. I rebooted.
Still nothing. So I re-added ppp0 in netcfg. Still no sign of lo.
Remind me where that's set up. I know I've done it for Slackware, but my
head is swimming in conf files right now.
Thanks,
