Oh I could install it OK, but Ross' suggestion was that the presence of
discover on the system might be *the source* of the problem I described (an
un-wanted attempt at boot-time to always bring up the eth0 network
interface) ... so I hardly want to.

I've since tried putting:

   install eth0 /bin/true

in /etc/modprobe.conf, but that didn't solve the problem either,
