How do I go about setting up a NIC with a dynamic IP in Knoppix....after booting in with failsafe..


Thanks

Try sudo netcardconfig from a terminal, choose dhcp.
good luck.

One problem is that I've had to go in as failsafe (forgive me...first tiem with Knopix) becuase when in normal mode, it apperently jsut sticks after I press ENTER. No HDD or CDROM activity....only when I use 'failsafe' caN i get Knoppix to boot...on this particular PC i would guess....and even then it complains it can't find a driver for my video card, I don't need runlevel 5 anyways...if only i knew how to get runlevel 3, that would be sufficient for me.

What I need now to do is get Knoppix to detech the NIC after I've loaded in failsafe...any ideas?

Thank you
