How can I disable DHCP during booting?

nodhcp

Press F2 at first boot prompt to see all the boot time options

unless you are using an hdinstall in which case it becomes more complicated.

Edit your lilo configuration file.

Add "nodhcp" to the append statement and save the file.

Run lillo -v  as user "root".

Reboot

When I type nodhcp during it says something like: " Could not find that kernel package"


What is the problem ??

The problem is that you don't understand how the whole boot parameter thing works.

Here is an example:

dsl nodhcp

or

dsl failsafe nodhcp


So in most cases, the first boot parameter word must be "dsl".

The only exceptions are the framebuffer modes like:

fb800x600 nodhcp

or

fb1024x768 nodhcp


Hope this helps.

Ah okay, got it know. I thought I tried "dsl nodhcp" before but well It is working now.


One thing though, the /etc/resolv.conf still puts this address in at every boot: 206.13.28.12

change the script /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfigure , there you should do a search for DHCP and then remaster your CD!

Good luck!
