Question is, why would you do such a thing?
because IPv6 gives me really long, way-way long DNS lookups :-( e.g opening Google, or any website, takes 2-10 minutes to open. on Fedora and Debian after disabling IPv6 there were no DNS lookups anymore and i was able to access internet without any trouble. i do not have much troubles on CRUX, except sometimes i get a sudden slowdown in download-speed which may be because of my ISP but i want to try disabling IPv6 and seer the results. -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/
