Hey guys.

I have made some small changes to the default /etc/inid.d/net.eth0 and
/etc/conf.d/net.  These changes simply add functionality alowing for an
alternate ip config should dhcpcd fail to find a server.  I made these
small changes because I use a labtop and when I would boot away from my
network apache, fam, and other needed daemons would fail causing poblems
for many programs (at least ones I run) and this prevents this.  Anyway
I have included the files.  Please look at them and tell me what you
think.  I have CLEARLY marked what I changed.

I'm very sorry if this is the wrong place to submit this.  I looked for
a good place honest and this is what I ended up with.

Also I have a question to put out.  Does anyone have a good reason not
to add a force option to emerge.  The way I see it the worst that can
happen is the package fails to build.  I have had a couple our users ask
for this in #gentoo irc the last couple of days and I wouldn't mind
seeing it my self.  It wouldn't be hard to do maybe I could 'try' if no
one objects.  It may also be needed to include a note with this function
that states using it could cause conflicks.  I have been editing my
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask and that get old fast when over
writen every sync.

Well thanks for listening.

Frederick <sabin>
