nforce drivers
sorry, maybe its a faq, but:
does knoppix 3.4 supports nforce (the nvidia soundstorm system and !important! the ethernet adapter)? 3.3 and the ct' version didnt.
i'm always thankful for answers
sincerly, fraxx

Yes Knoppix 3.4 [not the ct version] does support nvidia nforce drivers for network [I use dhcp] and sound but not for video, a shame about the graphics drivers but at least internet connection is now possible from the CD and Hard drive install which it has not been without building your own from .tar.gz till this version.
I seem to be having a problem mounting any of my 3 cdroms ie CDROM CDWriter, DVDWriter, oh well enjoy the nforce driver that are available now

about the mounting, what is the problem?
the comands below might help some
dmesg|grep CD
dmesg|grep hd
dmesg|grep sr
mount
then the information in /etc/fstab is good to look at.
if you post the output from these it will be easir to help

Look at the install other software thing - click the penguin icon, there are about four choices, each with about four subcoices, one of them is to install other software. IIRC, there are a couple for nVidia drivers. (Sorry about the lack of specifics, but I'm in Windows now, and can't refer to the Knoppix desktop)

Thank you for the offer to help me to get my cdroms working and here is the output from
dmesg | grep CD
dmesg | grep hd
dmesg | grepsr
mount
also the fstab file text.
when I try to mount a CD I get a dialogue box that tells me: mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist
please check that the disk is entered correctly
there are no scsi devices in the fstab but the scsi adapters were in the dmesg | grep CD so I hope that this will help you to help me

At the risk of actually getting back on topic here Kanotix has always configured my nforce mobo perfectly. The accelerated graphics drivers must be installed from nvidia but it is quite easy to do. In fact there is even a script to install the nvidia drivers to cd. I'm not sure about the soundstorm system.
