Christopher does appear to be behind in his reading.
Guessing that is why he does not know Knoppix can be installed onto
disk.

http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Main_Page would help in that respect.

Im not sure about knoppix, but I imagine it is similar to Debian.

put your internet router address as the gateway and dns-nameservers address.

That's odd. When I boot Knoppix cd it detects my wireless nic, even gets the
model number but then the autodetect thing terminates with some error. The
computer never thinks it is on the lan.
