tried pupyy on my work laptop and I had to use the network wizard to bring networking up. It would seem more friendly to try and bring up eth0 (or all interfaces) automatically using DHCP would it not?
Is there a way to tell puppy to do that from now on?

Hmm. I think it might do it if you have a pup001 file, in which your configuration for that particular computer is saved. In other words, I think that once you have used the network wizard to configure your ethernet that info is saved to your pup001 file if you have one, and Puppy will use it to attempt to restore the ethernet connection when it boots.
I could be wrong. Somebody who knows more than I do will be along shortly to set me straight, I'm sure.

yeah, I haven't played with saving anything on the USB drive, so all is gone after I reboot
I was worried that it would remember "too much" between reboots, since it's very likely that each reboot will be on a different machine, since I want this to become my "to-go" machine.
I'll just have to play with it more.
