[Voyage-linux] dynamic nameserver problem

[Clemens Grünberger]

Thanks Punky and Jo,

I did a fresh install and it works indeed with resolvconf as Punky 
described it. I recently switched from 0.6.2 to 0.6.5 and also had 
networking disabled altogether, what might have caused resolvconf to not 
work correctly in my setup.

On the hand I also got DNS resolution for my modem ppp connection to 
work by disabling resolvconf and symlinking both /etc/resolv.conf and 
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf to /tmp/resolv.conf. I guess that means, that also 
Jo Lodewyckx's solution for resyncing the resolv.conf should work well.

Thanks for the help everyone and for the enjoyable voyage-linux,
Clemens
