I wonder if I dare ask this question. I'm already in way over my head.
How is networking as in the NICs and TCP/IP configured after Linux is
installed but without or before WIN98 is installed? Lets assume I was
building a Linux only system.

Old school linux guys do that in a very quick and straightforward way by
the command line, e.g:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0

that 's all.

Not to steal this thread, but I'd simply like to know how to delete a
default route obtained via DHCP at every boot.

(three NIC's. One static IP and two dynamic IPs. The two dynamics flip flop
at being the default gateway, causing all sorts of havoc with FTP and SSH)
