Yup, networking is the most difficult, with XP being a more difficult 
host than 2000, which is why I had to write the networking section as 
instructions on the wiki page.  I wish I knew more on how to automate 
the configuration process.

As for being useful to a point, absolutely correct.  They are not meant 
to be a one-size-fits-all end-solution.  I created them as starting 
points, so that people could get something working quickly and learn 
how the various pieces to colinux fit together.  Hopefully, as users 
get more familiar with colinux, they will then tweak colinux to their 
heart's content, e.g changing filesystems, adding swap, 
adding/modifying installed applications, trying newer binaries, etc.

I'm curious to know what in particular did you find difficult about 
configuring networking?  I'd like to know so that I can incorporate 
those changes in the next bundle.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
