Something is bad wrong...you might have to fix the hw accelleration to get a game or two to work but all the stuff in the start menu should run fine.What version of knoppix did you install?If it is the newest 7-26-03 I think it has the new installer (along with the old knx-hdinstall) called "knoppix-installer" is that what you used?Did the stuff work fine from the live cd?
