The initng-0.6.0 install seems to be incomplete. /etc/initng/net/net.i contains: service net/lo { need = system/bootmisc; use = system/static-modules system/coldplug; exec start = ${INITNG_PLUGIN_DIR}/scripts/net/interface ${NAME} start; exec stop = ${INITNG_PLUGIN_DIR}/scripts/net/interface ${NAME} stop; } service net/* { network_provider; stdall = /dev/null; need = system/bootmisc; use = system/static-modules system/coldplug daemon/cardmgr; exec start = //lib/initng/scripts/net/interface ${NAME} start; exec stop = //lib/initng/scripts/net/interface ${NAME} stop; } but /lib/initng/scripts does not exist; neither can I find any scripts/net/interface file ANYWHERE on my system. Without this, the lo interface won't start, and everything goes downhill from there. I've tried re-installing initng, with and without USE_EXPAND="INITNG_PLUGINS".
