-
- The MDK (v3) already has such a system, there is a .'able /bin/sh file in
- /etc/install.d/config which contains variables such as the partitions to
- run /bin/fsck on at boot-up (called by /etc/rc.boot every n bootups). The
- hostname, ip number etc. could be put in there.
-
- The hostname is actually looked for in /etc/hostname, then checked for in
- the HOSTNAME environment variable. I think this makes more sense.
