I copied ~/mail from the old desktop before it died, but not immediately
before. There are two mbox files (folders) I just copied from the last
backup before the system died that are larger than the ones I have on the
new host. This is because additional messages were added on the old desktop

Michael,
You're correct. But, it tells me which IP address is assigned to a device.
This means that these devices must have static addresses for this

No, it's not.

Since he's running slackware, IP addresses are set by 1 of 3 functions:
1) /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 runs at boot time and manually configures network
interfaces
2) The system has been configured to run NetworkManager (meaning that
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf is left at defaults)
3) WICD has been installed
