Klaus,
so did you find a pattern under what circumstances it works and when it does
not? I would be very interested especially concerning Debian ...

Knoppix got finished earlier than expected. I first tried it on
another machine on my WAN/LAN to see if the CD would work with another
configuration. This went off without a hitch, though it is necessary to
prompt Knoppix to search for a dhcp assignment of an IP address by using

Thanks for the Klaus. Do you have any advice with regards to the dhcp
problem I am having in Debian 3 rev. 1? I have almost completed a
download of the latest Knoppix iso and can burn a CD from that. I can

Hi Gary,
Thanks, that is exactly what I am looking for. Unfortunately, the
Fujitsu-Siemens Celvin only has a third party USB floppy drive. I made
sure that I installed USB mass storage in the kernel, but how do I get
the USB floppy to work, so that I can do what you suggest?

The contents of "/etc/networking/interfaces" was only the lines that I
added. There was nothing in there, or maybe I rather created a file when
I used vi (in root). However, I didn't overwrite I file, that I am sure
of. The result of "ls -l /sbin/ifconfig" is -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55180

Giving the output is not an easy task, as the computer I am installing

hopefully will work when I get Debian installed. As the network isn't

You mean "non-Free", or "proprietary", in place of "commercial".
