Well, the absolute basics would be: hostname="<YourHostNameHere>" ifconfig_<NameOfNicCardDeviceHere>"="inet <IPADDRESS> netmask <NETMASK>" defaultrouter="<IPOfGateway/Router>" You may also have had: sshd_enable="YES" You can also look at dmesg -a and get a grasp over what other services you had started.
