my experience with Toshiba Satellite 4060xcdt s4060xcdt 4.

[y23]

192meg ram 6gig drive 333mhz

Knoppix will not boot.

F2 ... I managed to boot with:

knoppix xmodule=trident screen=1024x768 depth=24 vga=normal


I retained the old win2000 w2k installation but resized the NTFS partition to 2gig... added a FAT16 (for testing older DOS) I used PartitionMagic 3.0

primary 2gig NTFS WinNT
primary FAT16 DOS
logical 2.5gig Linux ext2
logical 200meg Linux SWAP

/usr/local/bin/knx-hdinstall

LILO into MBR

all went fine... now I can boot three different OS

yey! )

... but the darn PCMCIA network card (old 10mBit) doesn't
work after booting Knoopix from HDD.

I can fix the problem with

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.50
route add default gw 192.168.0.200

can anyone tell me where to add this, so it always happens automatically?

cheers,

PS: Morphix 0.3 liteGUI worked FINE. Without
boot params.. and it did not forget its netw settings
upon reboot. But it did not shut down properly...
still had to do ANOTHER ctrl-alt-del once Xwin had shutdown... I was looking for the MOST SIMPLE and small
Linux for my old mother to use on her TV 640x480.
Preferably without mouse. Any ideas? (please reply here and
link to new topic.

I usually put that sorta thing in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh. For example I need the irda port configured on boot so that my PDA will sync. This is the end of my /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh file:

[quote]
# Save kernel messages in /var/log/dmesg
#
dmesg -s 65536 > /var/log/dmesg

ifconfig irda0 up

: exit 0
[/code]

joe /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh

but to no avail.
