Network don't start auto

Try installing dhcp-client

Code:

apt-get -t unstable install dhcp-client
apt-get -t unstable install dhcp-common

You don't understand, my network is not based on DHCP - actually, I rally would be glad not to have it in my computer, because I don't use it! My question is, how to configure my computer that way, so I should not run "netcardconfig" every time I start the PC?

Gromeo,
Have you tried booting from cd, configuring your network, saving the config to a floppy, then booting with option "knoppix floppyconf"? If I do that, my network comes up as desired. Admittedly, that won't solve the problem of having a correct auto boot but if it works you can unpack the configs.tbz file that's created on the floppy, figure out what it does, and put it at the end of your /etc/init.d/bootmisc file.

A quick and crude hack would be just to copy the /mnt/floppy/configs.tbz and /mnt/floppy/knoppix.sh files to /etc/ and call /etc/knoppix.sh from /etc/init.d/bootmisc

note that you'll have to edit the paths as given in knoppix.sh for this to work.
