Sounds like a plan.

Naw, this is a closed network I doubt anyone would want to (or be able
to) get in. Plus I can always do that in the future.

Well I did notice an error, like I mentioned, that it couldn't setup
the service. What I'm worried about is if there was any process it
might have skipped after it returned the error. Although at the end it
did say "Configuration success, enjoy" or something like that.
Also would you happen to know how to add the daemon to the run string
(which is the best way and how). Like I said I'm not used to the 98
structure, it's as if I stepped into a world of wonder :p
