Ethernet not working
I am trying to breath new life into an old dell inspiron by running knoppix 6 off a thumb-drive.

If it doesn't, then resolve that before trying to deal with the thumb drive. Unfortunately, if it does work properly when run as intended, you are just one of a long line of people who have seen networking fail after they tried to "install" Knoppix.
