Well, I don't know how to configure an ethernet port period, but if you know how to do it from the command line, you can add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, which is a script that runs after startup. For example, I have mine set up to mount my filesystems and set up my wireless network.

this particular line shows the space in your pup001 file.
you have 248 MB in total from which you have used 3 MB and have 232 MB still available. which means that you are using 1% of the space
I don't know why used + available does not match the Total, I guess that the difference is for the file directory. I haven't been curious enough to investigate.

It all depends how you want to install Puppy.
If you have enough RAM and prefer to run Puppy in RAM, you can do an type 1 installation. Then you can format the HDD as FAT32 or as ext2 before installing puppy.
If you prefer to do a standard HDD installation (Type 2) where you have the directory structure in your HDD, then you just need to create the partition. (I'd recommend to create a swap partition too), The install script will format the partition and install to it.
To create the partitions you can use cfdisk in an rxvt console.

Did you increase the volume in Puppy throught the Mixer? It's under the multimedia menu.
