I got ifconfig running by installing the correct package with pkgtool and then being all awesome and installing some other stuff and doing dhclient eth0.
Next, I used curl to grab the openssh tarball and was told my c compiler cannot create executables.
Awesome.
Research led me to thinkk I needed to install glibc. I installed it. I can now compile openssh mostly. I don’t have openssl, though, so not all the way. More work on this tomorrow!
