How to boot Linode with network disabled
Question:
Is it possible to boot a Linode with all network connections disabled?
Specifically, for an Ubuntu 16.04 Linode.
Reasoning:
"Do not plug to the Internet until ready" - from section 3.3 of the Securing Debian Manual:
Attempts made so far:
[1] Disable Network Helper / Auto-configure networking
Result: Linode had internet connection after boot.
[2] Boot in single user mode (Linode configuratio profile)
Result: Linode had internet connection after boot.
Thank you.
