The original /etc/network/interfaces only mentioned the loopback interface. In spite of that eth0 was configured in dhcp mode, which works perfectly for my local network.
Now I want to configure eth1 and eth2 with a static IP. I modified /etc/network/interfaces for that, but it is never taken into account  at boot time. I can add a
Code Sample
sudo ifup eth1
(or eth2) in bootlocal.sh (which works in spite of an error message: ip: RTNETLINK answers: File exists) but I guess I am missing some DSL dedicated configuration file.
By the way, this is a frugal install and /etc/network/interfaces is in .filetool.lst

The boot-time system configuration is done by /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig. Local boot-time scripts are executed from bootlocal.sh. Those should be adequate to get your other interfaces up. Where are you executing pump for the other two interfaces? Try bootlocal.sh (no sudo required).
pump -i eth1
pump -i eth2

I'm figuring that that file, like most of the other knoppix-based files, are ignored.

From the wiki:

Add your static ip commands to the file bootlocal.sh

Lucky, he wants static ip's, not dhcp ip's. (Pump = dhcp client)
