One minor problem though, is that when I boot up (from a LinuxPPC 2000
installation), after the "Entering non-interactive startup" message, I
get a message stating that it could not find the file
"/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag", which it tries to set to "1" by
echoing to it.  Can this be ignored?  Is there a way of either getting
this proc entry back or removing the script code that echoes to it?  I
must admit that I haven't looked at any of the files in /etc/rc.d with
great detail...

this is controlled by /etc/sysctl.conf

That only works with kernel 2.2.  This was changed sometime in 2.4.  I'm
almost positive it now defaults to on.  I seem to remember a comment from
Rusty Russell about not wanting to get e-mail from people who setup their
machine wrong.  Although I could be remembering something else.
