We need to setup just enough networking so that we can download
-sources for the system build. Type in the following commands, replacing
+sources for the system build, as well as the required localhost interface. Type in the following commands, replacing
$IFACE with your network interface (typically <c>eth0</c>), $IPNUM
with your IP address, $BCAST with your broadcast address, and $NMASK
with your network mask. For the <c>route</c> command, replace
$GTWAY with your default gateway.
