Seems a shame to me that a new Puppy doesn't 'just work' on a LAN with a DHCP server/gateway.
DSL & BeatrIX both auto-configure any ethernet NICs with DHCP...if they fail then no big deal, but if they succeed then the connection is working from the start
F
Auto-config Ethernet
autoload
maybe automatically load the network config/detection script.
though this may be annoying to users who prefer to config their own network settings, or don't want the delay with network detection.
anyway, you shouldn't be disappointed, it's there in the programs...

An automatic detection and setup would suit people who do not understand what DHCP is and don't really want to know.
Auto detection and configuration of a modem would be good also and these features might be forthcoming in future versions of Puppy but in the meantime the DHCP setup only has to be done once and it is pretty well automated.
The same goes for the modem setup.
