Hi all!
Having been curious about Knoppix for a bit- Finally took the plunge and installed a copy of 3.6 to a spare HD. Overall, I'm interested in it- but have a few thoughts and questions.
My hardware-
AMD 3000 64
MSI Neo FIS2R Mb
1 gb Memory
Integrated SB 5.1 sound
ATI Radeon 9600 series 256 mb memory
1st question- How can you install devices not detected? In particular my integrated Gigabyte Network is not detected. Realtek shows linux drivers- but I'm "bumfuzzled" on how you actually install them.
2. I'm stuck in the middle of nowhrere using dialup. When I go to set up my modem, I can only find one device that shows that the modem (a lucent chipset)is ready- but when I query it, it sends out the commands- but shows no responses. When I try to dial up- sticks in the "initailizing" stage. I've downloaded the "scanmodem" tool, but have yet to figure out how to use it yet
