Great. Found it. Thanks, all. Now, does anybody have any idea why my
ethernet has stopped working?
I copied hosts, hostname.ae0, myname, mygate, resolv.conf, and
defaultdomain, but for whatever reason, my tcp/ip can't see anything
else. My machine doesn't even respond to pings. Under MacOS, OTOH, it
works fine. I'm a bit confused...
