All a good learning process, glad you got it working. |

Oh and you're right, english sucks, and I'm english. |

It's better that lo is there, but obviously isn't necessary as Debian doesn't |
| 17 |
have it. |

I've seen exactly the same on my own boxes. |
| 39 |
Debian is doing the same too, so I'd just go add a net.eth1 symlink change |
| 40 |
your config and use that instead, just don't remove firewire networking |
| 41 |
support, or you ethernet interface may become eth0 (udev might save you). |
