They are important to me because they tell me what information the system 
needs, it allows me to bring up eth1 at boot and with DHCP etc.  I don't yet 
know which files I can edit manually to do what I need to do.  My first 
message says what I'm trying to do and what problems I ran into. I need to 
bring up two NICs, one for network and one DHCP for uplink to ISP.  With 
linuxconf or netconfig I can do that.  In any event, I fixed the X 
configuration so I can now use the GUI in KDE to get to netconfig.
