The cardmgr has not yet mounted the card and it hangs when it looks for /mnt/hde1 to find those files. Any ideas? Would I have to remaster the cd to fix this initilization order?

Issue #2:
On a computer I tried KNOPPIX on, it boots up, runs through, until the point where it begins to load the window enviroment. It gets to the step "Initializing Peripherals" before it hangs completely.

Issue #3:
On a computer I have, the sound card is detected, but the driver is not installed, need the model number I assume, that'll have to wait until monday.

Issue #4:
How to specify a WEP key automatically, or in two different network zones(one with key, one without) for my built in 802.11b card in my Toshiba 2405-S201? If WEP is disabled in the router, the WIFI works flawlessly.

Issue #5:
Can not seem to get WINE to work no matter what I do, it crashes unless the program I'm running is a completely DOS based program. I have tried repeatedly to save the WINE configuration file to my CF card only to find I'm unable to write to my CF card, though I finally figured out how to allow read/write permissions to it.

Issue #6:
On the computer that boots and finds the sound but the driver is not installed, KNOPPIX boots into german, right away, however it doesn't do that on any of my other machines.

Issue 1 and 4 : you need some form of remastering though you may run away from touching that big 700M file. What I do is make my modification(/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig in issue 1, /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts and /etc/pcmcia/network.opts in issue 4) and save them into my modified initrd and change the linuxrc file to COPY them over the ramdisk version created by knoppix. In this way, you only need to change the boot.img

Issue 2: does this computer has some form of network connection ? If yes, can you see if you can disable it and see if the problem goes away ?

Can help about others.
