Thank you so much!  I very much appreciate the hard work that has gone 
into this.

I've finally managed to get an old IBM netvista desktop running and I've 
begun to install more software.

During the install process I used DHCP to configure the network.  I've 
subsequently modified /etc/network/interfaces to use a static IP instead 
but even after a reboot, the machine seems to want to use the original 
(DHCP-provided) IP instead of the one I've specified there.  The lack of 
tools I'm more familiar with (ifconfig or ip) on the platform is making 
me feel a bit lost.

Anyone have a suggestion as to what I should go read/learn to solve 
this?

     thanks so very in advance,
       ~c
