To delete an old default route

This is my present routing table(unfortuneately):

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
lapis.net * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
dc.dc.cox.net * 255.255.240.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default ip68-100-112-1. 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

I'm trying to delete my old default route from the table(the one with
gateway 192.168.1.1). So I tried to delete it from the kernel routing
table with command:

route del -net default gw 192.168.1.1

That worked... until I rebooted the computer. Now the old default route is
back again as it was before! Now, how can I change the routing table
permanently ?

Many thanks.

George

Over 100 linuxs. Are we going to have to guess?

I'm using SuSE 8.0, although I didn't think my question was necessarily
distro specific. Anyway, I was able to answer the question myself. Static
routes are saved in a file called "/etc/sysconfig/network/routes". The
configuration tool for my distro "Yast" edits this file.

Yes configuration files vary amoung distros, Redhat and Mandrak have
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes

/etc/sysconfig/network has the default gateway and gateway device.
