Hi all,

After some research, I found the answers to most of the questions I asked...

In Knoppix, /etc/init.d is the equivalent of RH/Mandrake's /etc/rc.d/init.d. 
To restart the network, do this:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

Note that there are a bunch of other services in /etc/init.d.

I haven't yet figured out how to do a whole range in Knoppix.
