SSP,
If Klinux got to the DHCP configuration, your network card is supported.
Otherwise it would not find your card, and would not request an IP from the DHCP server.
The "little response" as you put it, is just the three dots, showing it's calling for a DHCP server.
It'll do this three different time, before it gives up and continues booting.
Since it didn't find a DHCP server, you'll have to run "netconfig" after login in, and set your networking up manually.
type: netconfig and hit the enter key.
It'll ask you for the IP you want to assign the node.
Enter the info, and do the same for your "Netmask".
You don't really need to enter your Gateway or DNS server IPs, unless you have IP Mask & routing setup on your internet box.
Once all that is done, try and ping your PProxy box, by typing ping.
To shut ping down, hit your Ctrl C keys.
It will display your ping info.
Once all the is setup, and you have your Dnet client configured and have exited out of the Dnet config mode, you'll need to start the client by typing ./dnetc.
Then, you'll see the client working.
All that should be in the directions that came with Klinux.

I've tried Mandrake 7.2 for a couple weeks on my home box, but found it to be too bloated.
Their trying to be more like Winblow$, at the expense of speed and background processes.
I went back to Mandrake 7.1, and just upgraded the kernel to 2.2.17
I'm not trying to knock it, I just like 7.1 better.
/me did speel chek this, cuz I not lazy :Q
