[Sheflug] Doh! Loopback interface doesn't start on boot.

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

 Funnily enough, I agree with Stephen - 215Mb of my 230Mb install is a
waste of time - so I started uninstalling a few unless (somehow gnupg
was installed - handy! Binned it.) rpms last night.

 I'd rebooted noodles this morning, and lo and behold it didn't come up.

 After rummaging under the desk to swap keyboard and video connections,
I'm greeted with the start up screens on noodles, hung at "Bringing up
interface lo"

 So, no loopback.

 I went to init 1, started sshd and ipchains, and here I am.

 What have I done wrong this time? Is there something I should know - it
was all happy as larry last night!

 Baz.
