Hi all;
Newby to Linux and Knoppix here - firstly, my apologies for lack of any Linux knowlwdge! (I do run a few ported Linux progs though, Lyx, Mozilla etc.)
Anyway - I've just found Knoppix on CD and have had a bit of a play. So far so good.....however;
1. I cannot connect to my LAN - DHCP does not pick up any IP addy. In Windoze i just select "obtain an IP address automatically" and it does.
2. I see that Lyx 1.3.4 is shipped with the Knoppix CD and would like to give it a go. Question is how does one "run" a program that does not appear(AFIK) on the start menu?
