I am trying to configure my debian 6 machine to use DHCP. I have modified the /etc/network/interfaces
to only contain:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
But when I reboot it hang at NFS Common utilities: statd
. After around 5 minutes comes to the login screen, any ideas?
You need the loopback interface. Do not remove it. Many pieces of software absolutely require it to operate correctly.
