Hi Keith,

This is of course too unwieldy to actually use so I
followed through the
instructions for changing it to say eth0 to save editing all the /etc files
which explicitly name the interface.
None of the files seem to exist. Is this because it is all under the
control of Xen rather than the virtual machine? i.e. can I stop worrying?
On the new install that I did, the network interfaces were not
renamed, i.e. they went eth0, eth1, etc. I suspect that udev either
knows not to rename Xen ones, or else it doesn't know anything about
Xen ones so doesn't. Either way I don't think you need to do
anything and the interfaces will stay as eth0.
I think that's probably the best way to keep it as the index of your
network interface is decided on bitfolk's side.
Cheers,
Andy
