A: The harddisk-installed system is a "normal" Debian. You have to add the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces :
re-start the network with /etc/init.d/networking restart to have the changes take effect.

A: (rhk) Ahha! (I think) -- the key to this question is to recognize that even though /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf are read only files on the CD, when Knoppix is running another copy of these files is kept somewhere else (a RAM disk??) where they can be modified. So, it is fairly easy to set up a static IP and so forth for a given Knoppix "session", the trick is saving those settings between Knoppix boots. There is an FAQ on using something like knoppix.sh or a persistent home directory -- those might be the clues I need to save the settings after a reboot.
(rhk) I still have the problem of not seeing a prompt during the boot process. (I do get the thing that tells me I've passed an incorrect parameter for the screen size or some such, but the longest thing I can enter there is "scan".) Is the boot prompt hidden behind the initial Knoppix 3.1 splash screen? -- Nope, found my problem with that -- had the screen too dim, could not see the prompt (at all -- maybe the letters should be white instead of gray?)
Start a "root shell" (available from the K-menu) to edit the read-only files.

'Aside: I'm guessing that I can incorporate these commands in a file named knoppix.sh on a floppy disk. Then per the cheat code sheet, I should be able to issue "knoppix floppyconfig" during the boot process.'
What I've done so far (in this example, my local IP address is 192.168.0.25, and my gateway is 192.168.0.10):
