intel 537 modem

[jock]

Hello all,
My daughters boyfriend downloaded KNOPPIX 3.4 for me to try and I like it a lot. BUT I am a a complete novice with LINUX having just managed to copy the cd to my harddrive. :shock:

I need someone to tell me

1 how do I get to log on as root using KDE desktop
2 how do I install the drivers for my modem which I think I have found :shock: :shock:
3 who am I?
I havent got a clue what to do but would love to get rid of windows "spit"! and browse using KNOPPIX. Please if you can help treat me gently and dont use big words
:?
Thank you in anticipation. PS looked thru the archives here but couldnt find what I thought I was looking for

After opening a terminal type "su" followed by enter. Then you are asked to type in your root password. Knoppix supports many modems already. So what kind of modem are you using?
