How to keep Internet/ADSL settings after HD-Install.....

[Luke Riches]

maybe one last offtopic question though, hehe...



can i just install Kanotix above the existing Knoppix Installation?

or do i have to format the partition and install Kanotix then?

[shah]

Sure you can because kanotix will reformat that partition.

does the new installation affect the entries in the MBR or will the old entries from Debian still resist there?

[shah]

Kanotix by default will use grub as bootmanager....and it will overwrite your previous lilo which reside in mbr.
My advice if your lilo is on mbr, you should choose kanotix to write grub to mbr. Choose Debian style....less pain in the....

You may have forgot to enter your ISP DNS IP.
You can enter it manually by editing /etc/resolv.conf
