I updated the config on my laptop and rebooted and it seems to have 
worked. A few glitches came through, for example I saw a message stating 
that "net.eth0 had already been run" while net.eth0 was starting up, so 
I'm guessing the (circular) dependancy checking aspect isn't 100%, but I 
was able to log in.

I'll update my main development machine in the morning (when I'm awake. 
:> ) and see how it goes.

My servers, however, will have to wait a smidge until this is tested a 
lot more thoroughly.
