Hello, my name is [c], and i am very new to linux, [i divorced windows yesterday], and i am useing knoppix 3.7 with a HD install.

Everything works great, though, i have a few issues,

1. Every onc ein awhile i open a program, and it doesn't respond, and it won't close, and right now, i have a bunch of uncloseable programs running, and they won't respond to anything.

2. How to set up a generic 'ps2'to'pc' joystick adapter

3. how do view system preformance, how much memory is base OS useing, etc...

4. my HD is 8gigs, the knoppix installation is 3 gigs, surely there is programs or stuff i can get rid of to reduce the OS size abit?

Most of the terms etc in the faq i didn't understand, so i gave up trying to figure out what to do.
