Thank you chaggar01.  I decided to just comment out the if then fi lines that brought up the dialogue and let the script do its thing as it would if the dialogue had returned YES to the DHCP question.  That seems to work and doesn't require me to figure out the scripting language beyond deciphering how it handles if then else fi statements.  I made a copy of /usr/sbin/netcardconfig into netcardconfigdhcp and edited it with Nano to put # in front of the if statement line that brought up the dialogue with MESSAGE2 and the following then and matching fi statements.  It might be useful to include this modified file in the CD image for those of us with limited knowledge of this weird scripting language and with ADSL / Cable modem / LAN based internet connections using DHCP to distribute IP addresses.  I suspect that a large % of PC users fall into this category these days.  Probably about the same % of PC users that is so pissed off with MicroSoft's exorbitant bugware that we're looking around for alternative operating systems.
