Summary:                    LNET:  DHCP and GATEWAY conflict
Description: 
While selecting to use DHCP during initial ISO install and then proceeding
down lnet menu, i.e. DNS, GATEWAY, etc., if GATEWAY is selected _but_
nothing is entered, then an empty GATEWAY file is created in
'/etc/config.d/network/'.  This can confuse the '/etc/init.d/network'
script during boot and cause a 'grep' error(see: 
http://community.lunar-linux.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=144&highlight=)

I thought i fixed this in the latest copy of the networking script that an
empty gateway file would not cause problems,  What iso are you using?
tchan is the iso base updated to the laters version in the moonbase?

Sorry, maybe i didn't understand what you had done.  I realized, later,
during another clean-install, that, when I had selected GATEWAY() during
network setup, that, that was what had created the empty gateway file
which triggered the grep errors during boot.

If you have altered the network startup script to ignore an _empty_
gateway file, then, I think you will have fixed it.

Thanx, again.
