Hmmm ... I could have sworn that IPv6 is already disabled by default in Mint?? Can you please post the output of this command:

lsmod | grep ip

Scorp: To be precise, enabled in Ada beta007, Barbara final and Bea beta023. Disabled in Bea final.

Yes, I was talking of Bea. That's what most people use around here. There are only few stubborn ones left still using Barbara ... as myself

Good. If IPv6 were active then you'd get something like this:

~> lsmod | grep ip
ipv6                  263584  24

So no response means that the ipv6 module (= "driver") was not loaded. In my example it's loaded so that's why I get something back here.

You should develop some sense for humour

You can leave fortune, all you need to do is remove the line calling it in bashrc.rc.
