Alrighty then I have been useing Knoppix for about a week and have yet to figure out two main issues. I have searched google and this board for help. Maybe I am stupid but I could really use some advice.

pertinent hardware specs:

MOBO: P4P800 delux asus
Sound Card: is integrated Soundmax audio I have no Idea what type other
other than that.
NIC: uses linux driver 3c2000.o driver

ISSUE 1: I have downloaded the appropriate sound driver , I have unpacked
iboth it and the tar inside the zip. I opened the terminal from the file
and tried about a dozen different ways folks have told me to get
the driver built. so far I CANT SEEM TO GET IT TO MAKE RIGHT and
and I am about to pull my hair out. all I have managed is to run
the configure script but thats about as far as I have managed to get


ISSUE 2: I have managed to get the driver to build for this device but I cant seem to get knoppix to load it either from a floppy (which I am haveing random troubles with) nore from the HD partition I set up for it on my comp. can anybody help?


thanks for any help i truely appreciate any advice you can give. I am pulling my hair out (and my wife is starting to give me those "I am calling a psychiatrist" looks)
