Hmmm, well, I created a 100mb persistent home on the FAT32 partition. knoppix created a 100mb image file on that partition that stores my home files. Also, I edited /etc/fstab and added a 'rw' to the /dev/hda2 vfat partition. Now, everytime I boot up hda2 is automatiically mounted as read/write. I'm not sure if it was because of editing fstab or because the home directory is located on that partition, but in either case, that works for me.

Kmix keeps opening on its ownn when I boot up. I do not know what is causing this, and I have looked all over for a way to control this. Any ideas?

My Iomega predator CD-RW burner is listed as a CDROM. It reads disks, and I have not attempted to burn any, but what would need to be done to get KNOPPIX to recognize the device as a CD-RW?

Most importantly, I have no Internet access. The Info center under the system menu shows my DSL modem lisited as a USB1.1 device, but whenever I try to run the configs it does not recognize the modem. It is an ARESCOM USB NetDSL 800 provided by my DSL provider Quest/MSN. Essentially, having Internet access is of a higher priority than any of my other issues, as being "CONNECTED" in Knoppix will enable me to actually use that OS more often and really explore its capabilities.

Thanks for the help!!

(Also, should I start a new thread for the above issues since they don't relate to booting KNOPPIX or should I simply continue the current thread???)
