Hello
I have been using Me and XP and thought I would try out the Linux system. A copy of knoppix will load as far as configure, then fails to detect usb devises. If I enter the failsafe mode it will then continue to install to the final stage but the keyboard has limited use and the mouse is dead.

The installation stalls at....
Auto configuring devises
Insmod. Already exists
Insom/lob/modules2 .4.24.-xfs/kernal/drivers/input/input, o failed
Insmod:usbbkd failed

At this point no further action can be taken. This is a copy of knoppix 3.3 cd supplied with a Linux Mag, I have tried previously with a downloaded copy burnt with nero, with the same result.
I am using a two-year-old p.bell P4 1.7 256 RAM, would have thought this would have compatible components fitted.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
