I'll make the changes and add in changes for the network snippet as soon as I have time to make them and test it.  Hopefully tonight after work.  I turn off the autoconf stuff.  It's explained here:

I'd do things like default_gateway versus defaultgw, just to make things

I'm a bit curious as to what the autoconf setting does?

Thanks!
