How did you aquire the Knoppix your using?
As indicated above, this is a "hardened Knoppix distro" that's running Untangle.. (www.untangle.com) I came here with this question because I couldn't find any help on their forums, and being that this is obviously an OS level issue that I needed help working around, I figured this was the best place to come to. From all evidence I've read there, this is either Knoppix or Debian. But I wouldn't think the two would be totally different with regards to either simple commands or even config files. However I've been wrong before...

Ok so uname -r returns with:
/ # uname -r [root @ untangle]
2.6.16-ck11-untangle-cd-486
/ #
