Some Progress. The ifconfig shows that eth0 has been given the address
169.254.122.180 and will not allow it to be changed or deleted. However
ifconfig will create eth0:0 and allow the address of the parent machine
to be assigned to eth0:0 after which I can successfully ping other
machines on the lan. The catch is there is no option in ifconfig to
define the gateway - e.g. the lan IP address of the firewall - so there
is no access to the internet.
BTW When I say parent machine I mean of course the box on which I built
the Debian Live CD. When I boot this box from the CD there is no address
conflict as the hard drive is not mounted.
