Thanks for the Klaus. Do you have any advice with regards to the dhcp 
problem I am having in Debian 3 rev. 1? I have almost completed a 
download of the latest Knoppix iso and can burn a CD from that. I can 
then try to boot the CD, but am not sure what I need to do to see if 
dhcp works in Knoppix. Should I run the same tests that have been posted 
to me for Deb? What would the conclusions be for my Deb install if 
Knoppix does work?

Cheers,

Brian
