| How about something like:
| 
| "Hit any key within 10 seconds to edit rc.custom prior to processing"
| during the bootup?  (Or maybe, "Hit v or e within 10 seconds to edit
| rc.custom with 'vi' or 'emacs' prior to processing"...)

I think it would be really great this way. Often i had to
reboot many times, because it's somtimes really tricky
to edit rc.custom when in a hurry...

| If I am going to add another timed out prompt during boot, it should be
| for general setup, not just for IP, and I'm DEFINITELY not going to add
| any menus or sequences of prompts.

Great ! Fast and secure this way.

|  What do people think?  Would a chance
| to edit rc.custom (even an option to make changes permanent!) be good?

*I* would /love/ it. :-)

Bye !
