Or, you can grab the packages I uploaded to the "usual place" and basically 
have the boot setup ready to go.  There's a modified Ubuntu/debian source 
package there that includes the stuff you just fought your way through.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but adding an extra newline once in a 
while will create a syntactic entity known as a "paragraph".  This, in turn, 
makes it a bit easier for other folks to parse your messages.

The Gatorbox responds as a telnet server on the ethernet side.  If you know 
the address, just telnet into it.  I think it's menu driven.  There's also a 
configuration app available.  If you get stuck, contact me privately.  Given 
some time, I can scan the manual sections and get you a copy of the 
configuration utility.
