I received a copy of german version of Knoppix cd with a magazine I subscribe to.

Everything works fine except the HP USB Multimedia/Internet keyboard configuration at command prompt & the sandisk imagemate usb card reader.

I boot with "knoppix lang=us" for setting the keyboard to US layout. While booting it gave a message that keyboard not detected. Under X it is detected & configured properly but at the console (ctrl+alt+f2 etc ) it reverts to German layout. I even switched the keyboard from USB to conventional PS2 but the problem persists.

My Sandisk ImageMate USB CF card reader is detected properly but I don't know how to set it for accesing as an external removable drive.

My D-Link DSB-H3ETX usb hub + 10/100 ethernet port are also detected & onfigured properly.

Any & all help would be appreciated.
