Knoppix v5.1.1 Debian: NO internet...

[klerg]

Or Network functioning on a Debian-type installation. It worked fine when i booted from the Live CD, though. Anyone know what's the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Problem has been going on for as long as people have thought that "installing" Knoppix was a good idea. It's actually one of the oldest problems posted in this forum, dading back to 2002, and one of the many reasons that many of us urge people to install a distro intended for hard disk install rather than Knoppix.

Thanks for that. I just went into netcardconfig, chose my device (Eth 1) and said yes to DHCP. That was it. I'm typing from knoppix now. However, i have a problem accessing my DVD burner. Knoppix says: "Feature only available with HAL" What's that mean? Also, sound works ONLY when i login as root. I had to enable it in Control Center in my account, but i hear nothing when i test sound. Soundcardconfig gives me "ERROR: NO sound modules found. You don't seem to be running a kernel with modular sound enabled(soundcore.0 was not found in the module search path)." Any ideas what's wrong?

I've read somewhere that to fix the " soundcore.0 was not found, you don't seem to be running a kernel with modular sound error " you must go into your BIOS and disable the on chip audio.
