  There is a reason for this which you might find amusing.  I do not see
very well as I am 200/20 without glasses.  I went to sleep wearing my
glasses and woke up laying on them. :-(  The Flexon frames survived but
one of the lenses came out.  So, I was using my sunglasses to read the
screen -- not very well, it appears, but I was not aware of that.  I now
have them repaired and can see that I did not see things very well with
the sunglasses.

This is a typo, it should say: "--with-distro=clfs" and it will build
_after_you_apply_the_patch_, see below.

This is true, however ...

it appears that the patch uses the file: "/etc/rc.d/init.d/localnet",
which is in the LFS-Bootscripts tarball, to bring up the loopback IP
addresses.  But, I don't see how the daemon is started.  So, AFAIK, you 
still need something to start the daemon.

This will only work if you have the files that the init.d script and the 
backend uses.  Read the files:

	NetworkManager-0.7.1/initscript/RedHat/NetworkManager
	NetworkManager-0.7.1/src/backends/NetworkManagerRedHat.c

and see if you have needed init.d and configuration files.  You probably 
aren't running ncsd, so that doesn't matter.
