Hi Lukasz

Thanks for the prompt reply. I think you have misunderstood my question
or I have stated it badly. I am running a docked d:b system booting
using grub. I have assumed that you *must* still have a nest to keep
your settings.

Some stuff on the wiki seems to imply this is not necessary. So I am
asking, on a docked system is it necessary to have a nest to keep your
settings?

I could do it the hard way & experiment but I was hoping for a simple
yes/no answer & not having to play around with a working system :0) It
would also then be a good idea to update the wiki entry about docking to
include the answer.

cheers
