If you do use Boot Floppies they contain a particular Linux kernel in them, and you may be using a different kernel than was intended for that Knoppix CD. SBM or XOSL boot the kernel from CD so they get the intended kernel.

3.7 or 3.8.2 - use which works better for you. 3.8.2 contains the union file system, but there seem to be a lot of issues with a number of devices including writing to CDs.
Well, I dont have a CD burner on the laptop, but what I am saying, is that while booting off 3.8.2, the cardmgr that usually pops up, and beeps from the speakers as it initalizes each PCMCIA card I have, does not appear under 3.8.2. is it still there? and if not, is there an alternate app that manages my PCMCIA devices? thanks fot the links. -digital
