Hi,

I don't have my iBook with me right now, but I think there is a file
call something like Networking.gz that should be somewhere like
/usr/share/doc/mol (maybe /usr/doc/mol).

There are several ways to set up the network, I am using the tun device.
It creates a network between Linux and
MacOS.  So, I can use NFS to access files from the other OS or use tools
like scp etc.
