1. The password

The default password is "rescue".


2. Runlevel

The default runlevel is 2. 
If you want server support (sshd, telnetd, nfsd, ftpd) switch to runlevel 3.


3. Network Interface Card

Per default only the localhost interface is up.
Run "ifup eth0" to bring up your NIC and be sure that all needed modules are
loaded. If you have no DHCP server you need to configure the Interface
by hand.

	* load the NIC driver
	   # hwdetect
	   or do it "by hand"
	   # modprobe 8139too
	* configure the NIC
	   # ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.0.99 up
	* set the default gateway (if any)
	   # route add default gw 192.168.0.1


4. tmpfs

If you run out of memory on /var, you can raise the size limit of
the underlying tmpfs filesystem. But be aware, if the size limit
lies above the amount of actually available RAM, and you waste
too much space on the tmpfs filesystem, the system will probably
crash. So be careful, you have been warned.

Just adjust the size parameter to your needs. A suffix of k, m or g 
for kilo, mega and giga is accepted.

# mount -o remount,size=10m /var
