That seems like an odd problem to have, and an even odder way of
trying to solve it ...
A cursory read of https://manual.siduction.org/inet-ceni#netcardconfig
suggests that you SHOULD be getting networking out of the box?

I won't dig any further in this, not keen on understanding the boot
process of a live-CD distro I'm never going to use; but if you have
the
ability to modify startup statically try specifying the full path to
dhclient ... and if it is available, use sudo ... check if there's a
way to get a
graphical password prompt if your distro needs one. If not, and you
can "su" w/o a password prompt, try
/path/to/su -c /path/to/dhclient
