Hello red floyd and welcome to Knoppix.net.

We hope that you enjoy your use of Knoppix and hope you become an active member of the community. There's no membership fee. We just ask that you help us and others by becoming familiar with Knoppix, posting questions, and letting the rest of us know how things go. Also, I noticed that you joined recently and so was wondering if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions.

1. - How did you hear about Knoppix?
2. - How did you discover Knoppix.net?
3. - What versions of Knoppix have you tried?
4. - What type of system are you running Knoppix on?
5. - What operating system is currently installed on that system?
6. - How long have you been using computers, or how familiar are you with computers?
7. - Have you used linux before? If so, how long?
8. - What do you hope to do with Knoppix or Linux?
9. - Are you familiar with a wiki? If so, have you used a wiki before, e.g wrote some content?

D'oh! My bad. OK, so 4.0.2 CD it is.

Before doing that are you sure Knoppix hasn't detected it? What does dmesg say? In fact, try this: boot knoppix with the USB drive unplugged from the machine. Then type this into a root terminal:
Code:
dmesg -c >& /dev/null
Now plug in the USB drive and type these commands:
Code:
(set -x
dmesg
cat /proc/partitions
cat /etc/fstab
ls -la /mnt/
) >& post.txt
Pleast post the contents of post.txt.
