## ip=frommedia

I finally understand what this boot option does. If you want your etc/network/interfaces file to be used in the snapshot, include this option. If the option is not there, you get a generic interfaces file that has eth0 configured for dhcp. At least that's what I'm getting now. Didn't see that until I made a snapshot with my wireless connection info in it. (and no, nobody is getting that iso.)

Not a lot of use then, unless your build will only ever be used on one machine.

I was thinking more along the lines of preventing someone from accidentally distributing an iso that contains their wireless key in the interfaces file. I never noticed this until I made a snapshot on real hardware, instead of in vbox. I only noticed it when I booted the iso in vbox with the option in the command line, and I had trouble connecting to the network.

Fixed in refractasnapshot-9.2.0
network/interfaces and saved wicd configurations get removed from the filesystem copy before squashing. If you want your network configs to be preserved in the snapshot, uncomment the line in the config file that has

Code:
  `netconfig_opt="ip=frommedia"`

.
Note: If you use Gnome Network Manager or some network manager other than wicd, your configs are probably being copied to the snapshot. Tell me where those configs are stored, and I'll fix the script to handle it.
