Hi All

I am no expert on hard disk install since I operate
with no hard drive. I am sure there is a better
solution but you may find my method useful.

I use the fact that upon boot up KDE runs a startup
folder. Just put a script in here to fixes whatever
ails you. I my case I read the files from a second
cd rom but you have a hard drive so use a folder
-- not /mnt/cdrom1

Click Home --> View --> Show Hidden Files -->.kde
Autostart --> (make you own) MyFixIt.sh

Code:
#!/bin/sh
sudo ifconfig eth0 ###.###.###.### netmask 255.255.254.0
sudo route add default gw ###.###.###.###
sudo cp -fp /mnt/cdrom1/resolv.conf /ect/resolv.conf
contents of resolv.conf
Code:
nameserver ###.###.###.###
Best Wishes
