Try this:

chattr +i /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
chattr +i /etc/sysconfig/network

That puts the "immutable" bit on those files and even "root" cannot delete or 
modify them anymore.

When you're done, remove the flags again this way:

chattr -i /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
chattr -i /etc/sysconfig/network

Generally this shouldn't be necessary if you use the tarball installer, 
because as far as I remember it doesn't reset the network settings. It just 
restarts the network sometime during the installation of BlueOnyx, but should 
leave the settings the same. Could be wrong there, though.
