ok I have looked around quite a bit but I have never found a straight answer. How can i get knoppix to recognize my USB keyboard? I don't have a ps/2 adapter nor do i have money to buy one so that is out. a regular ps/2 keyboard is out as well for obviously similar reasons. I am having the exact same problems with mandrake but I figure I would take care of knoppix first as i am having less problems with it. any help would be Greatly appreciated!! thanks
