I probably should....

It is....  :-)

but normally when I use that machine I just run dhclient from single
user mode, then 'ssh'....  :-)

I wanted to try taking it to multi-user mode the default way so that I

whenever expected I wanted multiple virtual terminals.

As is I muddle through manually firing up virtual terminals and then
just manually start shells on them.....
