you really will not like how things will be if you disable the network on boot

there will be a lot of things that will fail

now if this is a standalone machine that WILL NEVER!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!! be connected to well anything
( as in you will NEVER install any updates or software ,that is not on a dvd )


you will not have issues with
auto update notifications - no internet to connect to
you will not have a issue with firefox( not internet to connect to )

network time protocol -- NO network to get it from

any of the many weather apps
again no network to get it from

and so on .....

thank you

No problem. Glad I could help.

I`m use ppp0 and wvdial. I`m do not use NetworkManager, modemmanaget, nm-applet...
