Are you trying to do a net boot or just a normal connection to the 
LAN?  You don't need to append anything if you just want to 
connect to a LAN.  Log in as root and type ifconfig eth0 to find out 
if you have the miscelanious network setting right.  If there not, 
you'll have to do some editing.  If you run RedHat > 5.0 it's in 
/etc/sysconfig/network  (and another one in there I can't remember) 
 Not sure about slack or Debian though.
