There it is, how about that!

I managed to get the one change I was working on going by just modifying the
rc.custom file on the floppy and creating a script with that....this is
pretty slick!

My goal is to have a floppy that will boot an older PC (floppy-only) up to
the login prompt on another linux box.  I have created a new user (connect)
in the passwd file and have that user running a script that sets the
terminal emulation and telnets to the server.  The only problem I'm having
right now is that I don't get a DHCP address.  If I do the following two
lines, then logging in as connect bounces me right through to a login prompt
on the server.

route add default eth0
ifconfig eth0 10.1.1.211 netmask 255.255.255.0

The 'original' disk didn't get the DHCP assignment either.
