Hmmm... good thought.

Will look into it.  IIRC the package info suggested a 2.4.19 kernel so I 
thought I'd be safe with a 2.4.20.

Yes, no changes

Yes, that's why I decided to look at the permissions on everything I could 
think of.   Am I basically correct, however, in my assumption that the 
/etc/network/interfaces file is the "mother ship" of info regarding the 
parameters to be used for interfaces?   Including the gateway ip addy?
