Why do you think it won't 'just work'? I don't know much about Knoppix 
but my Gentoo live CD just works. Do you have some reason to suspect 
that Knoppix won't?

Why all the hardware? I think the Actiontec DSL modem/router that Qwest 
provides has four ports + wireless. Why would you need another router 
and a switch?

I wouldn't worry about things not working before you have a DHCP server 
on the LAN.
