0. If you really want help, don't be an annoying dick. Just some helpful advice there.

1. You have two options:
a. ' ps ax ', find the process number of the program in question, and ' kill -9 ' the process number;

b. If it's a window in X, you can run ' xkill ' from a terminal prompt and just click on the window you want to kill. See ' man xkill '

2. Save whatever you're working on before logging off. Personally I don't use Knoppix from the live-cd much unless I'm troubleshooting a box; and even then I use console mode, no GUI. If you want persistent sessions, where the windows come back the way you want, you should install to HD.

3. I wish I could help with this one, but there are just some motherboards and sound chipsets that the Linux kernel does not support. Others may be able to step in and give you advice here though; post the results of ' lspci -v '.

3. How the hell do you make the sound work? Seriously, I mean, can anyone answer this?

I realise that this seems rude but I am one of those people who thinks Linux/Unix is rubbish. But I always try to give it a go! I really want to like it, but I can not get anywhere! Well I can get quite far, but I am finding the whole thing a huge uphill battle. The wiki website's not working, the FAQ is a bit lacking in info and the forum replies are all the same: "A quick search on the forum's will find that answer fo you!" It's NOT TRUE!! I have been looking all over the place!

If you are annoyed or think I am a dick, that's cool. I am an annoying dick.
