Thanks Paul,

I confirm that your syntax works perfectly. Thanks.

Now I have some other questions:

How do I restart the network (that means all interfaces). In RH or Mandrake 
I'd do this:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

There's no such thing in Knoppix. How would I do it? In general, how does one 
restart a service in Knoppix?

Secondly, how would one configure eth0:0 to be a whole range? In 
Redhat/Mandrake, the old way was to put this in ifcfg-eth0:0:

IPADDR=192.168.100.100-110

The new way is to put the following in ifcfg-eth0-range0:

IPADDR_START=192.168.100.200
IPADDR_END=192.168.100.219
CLONENUM_START=0


Thanks
