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
