Is there a way to automatically install drivers in knoppix similar to that of windows by either using setup or control panel?
I am having difficulty installing the driver of a smartlink 56k internal dialup modem on my laptop. I have downloaded the linux driver from a linux website but after reading the instructions i found myself lost in all the details and personally found the process incredibly meticulous and complicated. I mean no offense to all knoppix users but i am a relatively new user and I can't help but find the process of configuring knoppix quite perplexing. Lastly, I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to enter the control center with an administrator acct.. I have discovered that despite going to the root term and typing su and changing the passwd, I still retain the default knoppix user acct. upon entering the control center. I guess my question is: How do i log in to knoppix as an administrator or su? I thank in advance all those who would take the time to read and reply to this query thank you.
