I was recounting how I processed it in my head as I read it. Apologies
for any confusion. :-)

This is one of the reasons I nuked it, apart from not needing it --
the warnings all over the place that it might rewrite my config files
if it felt like it.

I don't know, but the machine is headless with no GUI or X.11
installed. I thought NetworkManager was a GNOME thing? I removed the
only GNOME component I could find -- it was trying to regenerate
search indices or something. I'm afraid I've forgotten what it was
called.

The machine has never had any form of GUI and was only connected to a
monitor for initial setup and testing of the drives...
