I am brand-new to Knoppix. I just got my DVD this morning and find that neither my monitor nor my wireless card (the one described in this thread) are recognized.

If I need to download patches, where do I store them if I run Linux off of a DVD?

My monitor is recognized as a generic VGA and is a 640 X 480 patch in the middle of an otherwise black screen. I can get it to run in full screen.

I'm a little frustrated, as I have to learn how to fix things by booting back into Windows, then looking for the problem online, then re-booting off of the DVD, seeing if what I found online works.
