Ask sysinstall's questions regarding the network interfaces. :)

Basically, you need a tiny file /etc/hosts listing your IP address <->
hostname pairs, and you should fill in the `interface' section in
/etc/sysconfig.

For NFS, you additionally need to setup an /etc/exports (RTFM export(5)),
and to enable the knobs for nfs_client and nfs_server in sysconfig.
