Subject: Enable networking in source directory
X-Git-Url: https://git.siccegge.de//index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b4cda981224455188d4ba9d76a4005f3e5555d48;p=forks%2Fvmdebootstrap.git

ensure that /etc/network/interfaces looks into the
source directory and put the initial config in
a setup file in the source directory.
