Thats nothing Ric, while looking for a machine to run my new mill, I 
moved the hard drive with the installed cnc running release to a 
different box several times, so it is now using eth5. I know how to fix 
it now, but have been lost in the search for my round tuit.  I have a 
machine broke down ATM, but should have it back running in another day 
or so.  Yes, its a certified PITA and needs fixed by debian or the 
maintainer.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
