My experience with Live CD's suggests that hardware detection *might* be
lacking, whereas a physical installation on the hard-drive gives you some
more flexibility. It buys you time and space to install necessary drivers,
which you might /sometimes/ need to download off the Web or get with the
latest patches.
If all goes well, however, your Knoppix Live CD will recognise the DSL, fetch
the IP addresses off the network (router, DHCP server) and just 'magically'
allow you to connect. In less ideal circumstances, you might need to enter
some network addresses manually. Either way, failure with the Live CD should
not affect hopes of an immaculate physical installation on the hard-drive.
Good luck,
Roy
