That all worked for me, but I used ne.o and added the correct 
arguements/parameters. ifconfig did show everything as up and running.

That didn't work for me. I had to do this:

#route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.255 dev eth0
#route add default gw 192.168.2.0

My mistake. They are /etc/sysconfig/network and /usr/bin/passwd. The error 
messages are, "/etc/sysconfig/network: cannot create (No such file or 
directory)", and "/usr/bin/passwd: not found'\n'here file /tmp/shtm325000: 
cannot open (No such file or directory)'\n'syntax error". I hope that makes 
sense.

There isn't one. /scripts only contains initial_reboot.sh and setup.sh.

I tried on to find one, but I couldn't. I think they took down the mirror 
page.


Sincerely, and with thanks,
