.... i dont want a link please, i need to learn where it is.

In the wiki, a connection of FAQs and other info that all members here are encouraged to contribute to.
To find the wiki, look near the top of this page for a line of links, "Home", "Get Knoppix, "Documentation", Forum and so on. Take the Documentation link. You will be at the top level of the wiki. You should be able to find all of the faqs from there.

i knew it had to be staring me in the face lol. i thought it was in the actual forum.

seribas, actually you've raised an important usability issue. We use the term FAQ because we know where the FAQ are, but someone new would be stumped. I'm reluctant to change the nav bar as there are numerous references in the forums to "Documentation" as well. But I'll change the title of this thread so it's likely to come higher up in searches.

For other new users, you can also try the Search link in the nav bar at the top of this page. That'll give you various FAQ results for Knoppix FAQ, Downloading FAQ, USB FAQ, Network FAQ etc.

now this could be because i dont have flash, but when i search for anything absolutely nothing comes up. has anyone else noticed this? maybe the wrong spot for this post sorry if that is so.

Do you have javascript turned off?

[seribas]

I have java script enabled through my web browser (ice weasel) but i dont believe i have the right plug in, when attempting to download the plug in I dont know which one to pick/ or how to get it enabled.

I am super super new to not only linux/knoppix but with computers in general. so if you can dumb it down as much as possible that would be great. this is getting way off topic from faq's though, im going to move back to general support under: how to get Java to work

It's quite natural that you have missed this: In contrast to many other versions, even though Javascript is enabled, scripts are turned off by default in Iceweasel. I think you will soon learn to appreciate this feature - it's certainly not a bug .

But you must allow scripts, preferably page-wise. To do that, you right-click the script-icon in the bottom right corner of the browser window. Then you have a few choices, don't start with "Allow scripts globally", but in some cases you must choose "allow all this page" to make it work right. Just experiment. Good luck!
