Yes, it tells the (module tools? initscripts?) that to install the ipv6
module, you just run /bin/true. And naturally you get a happy return code
from that ;-)
I once managed to leave in /etc/resolv.conf a static DNS cache from here on a
machine I then took elsewhere. I was puzzled it was slow and it was puzzled
as to why I was telling it to look at 192.168.0.1 for DNS :-) Hence I
suggest looking with tcpdump at what goes on at the wire when you are doing a
DNS lookup. 192.168.0.1 stuck out like a sore thumb when I did this. You
might as well turn off ipv6 anyway, but if it is trying to talk ipv6 that
will also stick out like a sore thumb. tcpdump is very very useful.
