It did not provide a static IP and stopped after 3 tries at dhcp.

The description was given in your data and I followed it exactly...an example would be best description.

The description also leaves out the Kernel version...knoppix26.
try
knoppix26 lang=us pdt staticipaddress
at boot prompt.
after boot, there appears
IP address:
prompt, and input your IP address here. and following
Netmask:
Default Gateway:
Name Server:
prompt, you can input yours.

regards.
