Hrrm, I'll have to start looking into info pages. Does Fedora have one
for each item in /etc/init.d?  FreeBSD has a man page for each item that
can be turned on or off at startup. 

I'll also have to check info ifconfig to see if they have examples and
tell how to put an alias on an interface.  However, as it's after
midnight here, that's for tomorrow.
