New user to Knoppix doing (you guessed it) system recovery and I have a couple questions. What is it with certain applications like konsole and iceweasel acting like they're going to open, only to disappear after a few spins of the hourglass. Likewise, trying to use WINE has been frustrating as I can't get past the base setup. Commands like testdisk won't work either, giving an "error while loading shared library. Since konsole won't work I am using Xterm as a terminal window. Lots of other stuff works as well, I've been able to use openoffice and konqueror, but windows will close unexpectedly in konqueror when I go to sites like webmail and sometimes sites that had worked previously. The cause of my XP crash was updating an intel storage driver, which I'm hoping to resolve with the registry editor in WINE. I've already tried a few things with the windows recovery disk like fixboot and fixmbr to no avail, the system is stuck in a boot menu loop where it restarts the computer no matter what option is selected. Any advice on any of these topics would be appreciated.
