hello
i've just made a HD install of DSL on my laptop
anytime i boot it, network is not available because the network service isn't loaded
so i'd like to add "/etc/init.d/networking start" in the boot sequence
which script file is to edit to add this command at the end of the boot ?
thank you

I fixed this, right or wrong, by editing the file /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig. Search the file for DHCP or net and in the body of the file you will find some stuff related to DHCP and network configuration. The block is about 10-15 lines long. I commented this all out with a "#" and after that entered /etc/init.d/networking start and saved the file. This seemed to resolve the problem. I would assume that you first need to go through the network setup tool on the desktop first before doing this or there will be no networking settings. I also found that the hostname of the system "box" was being set in this file as well. Check here for boot up configuration issues.
