    I have made some modifications to the Jailbait 6 that I think would be
    good options to add to the setup script. Here are some suggestions:

    1. Give the user the option in setup to activate DHCP for ethernet.
    (i.e. touch /etc/config/pump)
    2. Put the resolv.conf under the expanded RW /etc area under temp.
    I know this will be a little tricky since it has to be tarred back up by the
    setup script but it allows one to temporarily change the DNS entries
    without having to remount the / partition. This is usefull when you are
    on the road with ppp. ;)

    3. Create a ~/.netscape directory that is mapped to the expanded RW area
    that would allow certificates, etc to be written to and naturally blown away
    when you reboot. Otherwise, Netscape forces one to re-accept certificates
    every time you hit a secure URL, even if you just visited the link.

    4. Map the .mp3 MIME type to start mpg123 from Netscape.

    Another suggestion for additional setup options is to prompt the user for entries in the HOSTS file.
