I appreciate the replies posted in response to my query especially the second one from marhleet which strikes me as being both witty and sarcastic. I wish to apologize to kirol for not providing sufficient information in my question however I am truly grateful that you have spared the time to reply. I am a relatively new linux user and know very little about knoppix.
Regarding my original query, allow me to do further research on this and hopefully i would be able to solve this particular difficulty.
