I've grep-ped the whole of /etc, no mention of "Knoppix" there.

I've also looked in /var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient-enp6s8.conf to see what 
hostname NetworkManager sends to dhclient.  No trace of "Knoppix" in there 
either.

What else could it be creating or overriding a Local Address with one called 
"Knoppix", rather than what was set at installation time?
