Hi everyone,

My first time posting here and first time giving linux a try. Currently using knoppix's 3.9 boot live cd w/ 2.6.11 kernel I believe. Some problems I'm running into, it appears that knoppix can't properly access my existing winxp partition. The desktop of knoppix shows several harddrive icons but in the brackets it only shows elipses(three periods ...). When I go into accessing them it doesn't show any items files or anything. I did a little searching on this but haven't had much luck figuring out how to proceed. I tried looking for captive ntfs at first but then notice that it wasn't there for 3.9.

My other problem is that I can't get my airlink AWLH3040(uses atheros chipset) wireless adapter to work under knoppix. Did a search for that as well and downloaded the netgate drivers here. I then proceed to use the ndiswrapper on this (ndis5x folder was the one I used). I get a dialog display saying it's mounted successful but that there are no new devices detected for it?

Would someone mind giving me a step by step mini tutorial for getting my internet up and running under knoppix? I've tried doing it myself for several hours in addition to doing searches on how to get it working with this adapter but I'm having little luck with it.

Thanks for any help
