So if I change iptables, will my changes get schmucked?

It is a host entry that is no longer apropos. Just delete it.

I'm tired of arguing. Make a patch that keeps our functionality that allows what you want, or....set it up like we say.
The relevant pieces are src/PlutoDHCP, src/BootScripts, src/Plug_and_Play_Plugin, and a few others that I can't remember right off the top of my head.
I don't quite get that. This is standard (Kubuntu, etc.) maintenance.
Your right of course... but LinuxMCE-0710 is a complex beast and can easily get broken by standard Kubuntu system updates carried out via the system update daemon...
definitely not, I would leave it as is... rather a disjoint schema than broken system
would you mind looking at the webadmin code for the network settings, and see if you can enhance that code, instead of creating an external script.
Can't remember for sure, but I'm thinking that option is only available on the CD installs. The DVD install is just a "snapshot" canned image dump of an existing installation, so there is very little configurability for that reason. The CDs go through a true installation which is why you get more opportunity to change things. You can probably change it post-install, but I don't know how... I presume you are setting up a "general purpose PC" that you want to run the core services in the background for other MDs? It really isn't that big a deal to wait a few extra seconds for the Orbiter to start up then select KDE Desktop. Then its as if you were always there.... you probably aren't going to reboot very often so its a fairly low impact thing
You should not be using apt-get update, and generally be Very careful around apt-get on LinuxMCE 0710. The GUI version (Adept, etc) were disabled for a reason. There are lots of critical dependencies on the specific release versions of various LinuxMCE modules/packages, updating them will irreparably damage your system. Please don't go hacking around until you understand the consequences of some of these steps! There really should be any need to do an update....
