debian networking setup and reconfiguration

[Bill Mitchell <mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com>]

I've recently had to move a couple of debian machines to another
identity on a different network, and to install networking on
a debian machine originally installed without it.  This leads
me to suggest the following:

How about taking the networking setup interaction off of the
install disks and making it part of a first-time network
package install?

Also, how about having it done with a rerunnable script, making
reconfiguring an already set up machine easier?
