The old clunker I would like to dedicate to Linux, specifically KNOPPIX I've found to have a problem with USB support.

After finally disabling USB support in the BIOS I've found I can now realiably boot,start, and use KNOPPIX under KDE.

Previsouly it just crashed at various points to working till I started a program or did something.

So any one have an idea as to the problems with USB on the FIC PA2007 & Knoppix and/or Linux in general?

PA-2007 is old, but reliable, I've used it till just recently as my main wimpdoze system. Specs:

Award BIOS V4.51PG
FIC 2007 BIOS V1.09CD12
160MB RAM
Acer 32x CD
Acer 6206 CD-RW
NEC 253 4 CD Changer
WD 13GB HD
K6-350 @ 337 (As thats all the BIOS jumpers support.)
Trident TGUI9660 8MB
Yamaha YF724 based PCI card
Acer ITU/2 56K HARDWARE modem

While not a big deal as I have never used the USB ports on the machine anyway, I would like to have support and option at least if I can.

Thanks in advance.
