You could use either the save config to floppy or persistant home options that are in the Knoppix menu off the main Kmenu. Then when you boot from the CD you would use IIRC knoppix floppyconfig or knoppix home=scan at the boot: prompt a search of the forum would provide more information on these options.

2) I've found some commands which are prefixed with sudo. Is this essentially sending a command to the root level? I mean, instead of doing 'su' first to switch to root, can I just alter the lines to read something like :

"sudo modprobe ne io=0x300 irq=5"
"sudo netcardconfig"

Thanks

I believe when you save the config to the floppy or the persistant home the settings will be used properly on boot I run from the HD so I am not 100% certain as I have not tested these options.
