21 That's easy enough to deal with -- list a code block that says what
22 command to use to find out the iface names, and show an example of the
23 output.

25 For that matter, if udev-197 goes stable it'll be included on the
26 livecd, right? So a user's interface on the livecd will already be
27 set to the new naming scheme.
28
29 ***OH***, that'll mean the livecd's config (or at least the openrc
30 oldnet portion) is going to need some work....
