1) With wireless card (PCMCIA), plugged in, boot fails but if I use nopcmcia, boots fine. How to solve this so that I can use wireless card? I tried to follow instructions provided by someone on this forum but can not execute "rm /etc/pcmcia/wlan-ng.opts".
Did you do it as root? How do you do that?http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqUsing I can't say one way or the other if that will fix your problem. I don't have a wireless card, but I would definitely make sure that's what you really want to do first. Maybe try some other options before you rm anything!

2) While connecting to LAN via ethernet, I get error that DHCP failed or something. I tried KNOPPIX->Network card configuration, it opens another window and does DHCP broadcast and then says it failed, hit enter to exit. My internet gateway router is MR814. When I run KNOPPIX from my desktop, connected to the same MR814, it works fine but from laptop it does NOT work at all.
Code:
ifconfig -a
Got I.P.?

Code:
cat /proc/pci
Got conflicts?

Which and in what sequence have you used these in? (besides just nopcmcia) http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/CheatCodes
I like pci=biosirq for this one.

3) My NTFS partition are seen by KNOPPIX but its ready only. I think Linux can read NTFS but can not wite to it.
Yes & no. For a more detailed explaination go here:www.google.com/linux

Linux can read and write FAT32 if I am not wrong.
You are not.

Can some one help with step by step instruction?[/code]
