I'm not sure, I don't really know much about all that. It would be nice to know.

I know that, for example, in Ubuntu 6.10 the /etc/iftab file makes it
so that, when you're running an image that was installed on one
workstation on a different workstation it'll use eth1 (for example) as
it's network interface rather than eth0, since eth0's MAC address is
already defined in /etc/iftab. I simply have SystemImager not grab
/etc/iftab in order to prevent that from happening, and the re-imaged
workstation simply re-creates it at boot.

There might be something little like that that I'm overlooking...
