It sounds to me like the problem here is Knoppix itself. Knoppix isn't meant to be anything more than a live distribution of Debian, therefore you can't expect everything to work flawlessly. A proper install of Debian isn't entirely out of the question here, especially considering how user friendly it's become since the Etch installer even those without infinite amounts of computer know-how can install it. -- If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs. - Richard Stallman
