mmm... wtf ? o_0
my ADSL router its what you call "modem" .... scratch that go to www.zyxel.com or look for zyxel routers on google whatever the page is... not the point right now, just so you can see what im talking about... Zyxel Presige 600 series. And THEY call it a "Router" so does my ISP.

Next to use ADSL ... read again "ADSL" thats ... "A.D.S.L" a sync digital subscriber line. YOU NEED TO HAVE IP's in order to go online. the basics are

Ip address:255.255.255.255 (example)
Default gateway:255.255.255.255 (example)
Alt gateway:255.255.255.255 (example)
Preffered Dns:255.255.255.255 (example)
Subnet mask:255.255.255.255 (example)

So if Knoppix doest understand that i have a ROUTER attacked to it i CANNOT configure these IP addrese's thust i CANNOT go online (wich is the story of allmost all **** *UNIX based systems). Note to developers: LOTS OF OPTIONS THAT DONT MEAN SHIT UNLESS U KNOW LOTS ABOUT COMPUTERS CAN GO UNDER A DIFFERENT "TAB" !!!! THE REAL DUMBASSES HERE ARE DEVELOPERS THAT CANT FIGURE OUT THAT WHEN UR MIGRATING FROM OS to OS SIMPLICITY IS WHAT YOU NEED. !!! stop this non-scense make it simple... Einstein once said that :P ... olso dont bs-talk about windows cause you werent born in unix unless your like +50's and even if you are you cannot be as blind as not to see who leads the OS market.

Most or some of you will get angry after reading such a thread but keep in mind its FUCKING frustrating trying to get OFF-WINDOWS and on to LINUX when there is no real helpfull+friendly advice... Except on this forum from all forums and linux's distros where i got the most reasonable simple and user friendly response wich basically was "No drivers...sorry."
while some others do something like "Sorry to hear that you cant go on the internet... linux rules and windows sucks" yet you cant get some basic shit out done without reading a 500 page book >_<

PS: I can go for months in the internet without catching a virus ... yet you go on to any """" HACKING\CRACKING """ etc websites and mostlikely youll get some bug out of it... its common scense. And the question im suprised to see "No" reply's cause if you FORMATED or DUAL\PARTITIONED your computer and wasted the next 1-3hours trying to get something done wich in windows is asked before you even enter the OS for the first time and its a 3 sec setup. So please stop this BS windows sux and linux is elite... instead simplify and help out the people that want to migrate shit if i get linux working ill for sure help my neigborgs migrate... but the close mind of some people cant get the BIG-WIDE picture.


Needles iss for me to say even tho i cant get the most crusial part of what i want out of KNOPPIX i still think is one of the best linux distros, specially cause its flawless boot under 3min !!! and fast hardware recognition (even tho it didnt recognize my "VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter hoocked up to my Zyxel prestige 600 series plugged in via ethernet"). Shit after this angry post ill mostlikely never get help but whatever... >_<
