I've been looking through the init scripts forever and I can't find where it calls dhclient and configures the network card. I want to give myself a static IP and I don't know where to change the scripts.

Edit this file to your needs.

/etc/network/interfaces

then issue the command:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

I have no clue what to do with that file. I checked the man pages for ifup and it gives no explanation of how to write a config file for it.
