Static IP address
Any ideas how a hdd installation can be configured to a static ip address on boot up? (I am currently running netcardconfig each time my computer starts up!)

you could save your home directory and the configs with the two comands (in the kde menus).
that is: klick yourself to these.
KNOPPIX | Configure | Create a persistent KNOPPIX home
AND (taken from the faq at http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqUsing )
directory
Go to the K-menu > KNOPPIX > Configuration and choose "save config", you can save to floppy or to an already existing partition on the harddrive. (on a windows partition s fine)
sadlt that about wndows only aplies if you do
NOT have NTFS on the partition.
To restore it, at the "
boot:" prompt type in "knoppix myconfig=scan", and it should find and restore your saved settings at boot time.
if you save to hdd or floppy or usb pendrive you can then reopen with the cheatcodes
boot: knoppix home=scan myconfig=scan
and of course any other necesary cheatcodes, you should have all settings/bookmarks... intact.

oops, hdd installed!
eeeh, then it SHOULD keep the settings.
have you gotten any error messages?
what does dmesg|grep eth say?

On boot up the ethernet card is detected - it just defaults to dhcp - although it does store the ip address in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, it just ignores it on boot.
I've tried passing the kernel option nodhcp, but then the network card isn't configured at all.
Oh well I had better start delving into the init.d scripts.

I think it is /etc/network/interfaces you need to be looking at.

Ok I've not got static IP address on my hdd install, by doing the following:-
edit /etc/init.d/networking
Change the first "ifup -a" to "ifup --force -a"
cd cd /etc/rc5.d/
ln -s /etc/init.d/networking S90networking
Changing /etc/init.d/networking is a bit ugly, but it works.
You can also add other links to /etc/rc5.d/ for other services at boot, eg ssh:-
ln -s /etc/init.d/ssh S99ssh

A cleaner solution is to edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts and put the static lines in there accordingly except for dns. Also, if you needed to add startup scripts to start services, open a console as root and type:
Code:
update-rc.d servicetostart defaults
and press enter.
