Uhh, Almost.  In the /etc//network/interfaces *DO NOT* comment out these 
lines:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

These are the necessary loopback interface lines and the system needs 
it. (It seems that "su" "sudo" and I'm sure tons of other stuff does not 
work without it.  I had to restart into a recovery console to fix it.)
