Hi all,

I'm a new user (the past 12 hours) of Knoppix, and I'm trying to sort out an issue. I am able to log in as root in a command line, but not in KDE. I successfully set up a root password for KDE (when i try to access user settings it prompts for it and it works) but I cannot log in as root. I need to have root access in order to extract my firmware update to the /lib/firmware folder... I believe. Is there any way to get it to work?

The problem this has stemmed from is that, like others i've noticed in this forum, I'm using an Intel 2200bg wireless adapter, and I'm unable to get it to work. The Device Manager recognizes it, but when I attempt to set it up it says that there's no wireless card detected (using Wavelan) which leads me to believe it's a driver problem...

So in short, does anyone know what I need to do to correct these issues? I know that the first one is a necessity, and probably a necessity to solve the 2nd one. I figure that once I get my wireless up and running in Knoppix any other problems that may present themselves will be researchable from that end, rather than having to boot back and forth between XP and Linux each time something goes wrong...

Thanks everyone,

Bri
