I finally figured out that Knoppix does work fine with my Linksys WUSB11 v2.6 USB wireless device - IF i start it with the cheatcode noapic.
When I try to boot Knoppix without the noapic-cheatcode, the computer locks up while configuring the devices (the green progress bar). BTW, when I unplug my Linksys USB device, I can boot Knoppix just fine without any cheatcodes.
I now wanted to do an HD install. Problem is now that if I boot Knoppix with "knoppix noapic" and then do a HD installation, the HD installation apparently tries to boot without the "noapic" argument - and consequently locks up (no matter whether I use knx-hdinstall or knoppix-installer and no matter whether I choose Debian-type or Knoppix-type).
The last lines in dmesg are
"usb vendor/product=77b/2219" - this is the Linksys device
"usb-uhci.c: interrupt, states 2, frame#1631"
I have an Athlon XP 1600 on a Via KT400 motherboard with onboard USB controller.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

p.s. I don't know much about Linux/Debian/Knoppix - so please explain like to a little child...
