Network issue on a cloned server

[David Groos]

Cool.  Tell me about this oem-config script.  How does one run it?  I did a
search for it and sounds like a great idea.  It didn't, however, tell how to
use it.  Would I install it with sudo apt-get oem-config?  Then launch it in
Terminal w/ sudo oem-config?  What info besides network info would I need
handy?  I couldn't find useful info in the wiki?

Thanks!
David
