I see. I am asking because recently I made sort of manual ( a part of it: http://www.compmiscellanea.com/en/arachne-installing-and-setting-up-ethernet.htm ), how to have Arachne installed and configured - after all my end user experiments with it. So if there are some practical (for end, not advanced, users) changes, I wanted to know.
