DSL boots up from the CD the DSL reads the file backup.tar.gz and some files are unpacked in /home/dsl

The CD I use to boot from is a remastered one and the major diff if in /etc/inittab, where the system is instructed to execute a shell script that is in a subfolder of /home/dsl .

Everything works until in the script there is

Code Sample

######################################################################
# netcard setup
/bin/cp /home/dsl/TEScript/NetSetup /etc/network/interfaces
/etc/init.d/networking restart

Where the file named NetSetup is

Code Sample

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

When the boot process is over I open shell and I check with 'ifconfig'.
There is no eth0.
I do 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' and with next 'ifconfig' the eth0 is in its place.
I figured out that it is a timing issue but the 'at' command is not present.

Any ideas?

Thanks
