Bob, that was a good lead. However, ifcfg-eth0 was not the file that
contained the gateway default; a recursive grep through the entire /etc/
listed about 5 or 6 files using 'that' IP (not counting the linuxconf
archives).
It almost looked like draknet and linuxconf duplicated efforts to manage
the default gateway. (this maybe an aspect that's interesting to others)
I am not too happy seeing Mandrake substituting many Linux standard tools
with drake-specific ones.
I took a pragmatic approach and let linuxconf remove the default route,
and it worked!
