[64studio-devel] "Bootstrapping" an nforce-based machine on 64 Studio

It's worth noting that 64 Studio supports IP over FireWire out of the 
box, so if you have a FireWire interface on your motherboard, that may 
be grabbing eth0. We also support IPv6, at least in theory. I don't 
think I know anyone that uses either of these technologies in a studio 
yet, but we're looking to the future :-)

Cheers!
