It seems that the system nevertheless requires dhcp daemon. Or?

ifconfig eth0  192.168.2.175 
works fine for my router and I can ping it (192.168.2.1 
gives me 0.5 ms response time); 
I can also ping other computers in the local net.

However, I cannot ssh computers in the local net and 
cannot go out to the internet. 
(e.g., ping 8.8.8.8 gives 100% packet loss; 
ssh name AT 192.168.2.X just hangs)

In my other Debian machine in 
/etc/network/interfaces 
there are only two lines 
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
and that works fine. 

Any idea? 
 
To install any file I would need to make my CD drive 
read CD-R disks. It reads very old read-only CDs but 
I cannot find out how they were formated.

I've got 40MB and that is apparently a max for 
ThinkPad 365X. This is OK for BL.

E-mails and textual browsing (lynx).
