Or accept the dynamic IP on that interface and setup NAT on the box
(with, e.g. ipmasq if you want install-and-forget or shorewall if you
need tight controll) so you can use your own static IP on your network.
However, I don't know how to do this on a LiveCD system. I only use a
liveCD system to tweak an already installed one and have never needed to
set up networking with one.
