smooth progress but still some problems

Hi Kenny. Well that command doesn't work, so the package isn't installed. I 
believe that package was lost during my first failed recover attempt. I will 
have to run apt-get check when I get back to the machine. I also used pump with 
the ifup script. Speaking of which, do the ifup/ifdown scripts come with the 
pump pkg? Bc when I did the initial install who knows how long ago, those 
scripts used pump. I know this because when I modified something in pump.conf, 
the changes would take effect once I ran ifdown/ifup to reconfigure eth0. So 
for now at least I am looking at reinstalling pump and dhclient.
