Hi Stuart

I was on the RHCT course in Leeds (xpertise) in July, I spotted you on the list, and thought 
i'd say Hi, so, Hi Stuart, hope you are well.

As you so rightly taught us, netconfig is your friend!

I have edited the files by hand before and eth* would not work where netconfig has.

Shi-Ping Chen - Use netconfig.
