A weird question on DNS and booting Mandrake

[Kendric Beachey]

Every time I boot my Mandrake 7.2 machine, it overwrites /etc/resolv.conf so 
that it contains only one entry, 127.0.0.1, which frankly doesn't do me a lot 
of good.  I have made myself a short script called fix.dns that copies the 
correct version of resolv.conf in its place, and I've taken to running that 
as root before doing anything net-related such as reading mail.

There's got to be a better way.  Who can tell me where to look to stop the 
automatic overwriting of /etc/resolv.conf?

This started one day after I'd been looking around in the various screens of 
linuxconf.  I thought I wasn't actually changing anything, just looking 
around, but maybe linuxconf thought differently.
