I ran Knoppix from CD for a couple of days, then installed it to HD today. My USRobotics external faxmodem was detected from CD but not from HD.

I can't find any info about installing modems, scanner, NIC and other hardware anywhere, apart from obscure commands that baffle me. Where do I type them in anyway? Coming from Windows, it's all completely different, so I need some basic help to get me started. Where can I find it?

Also: Is there anyway to make the text in KDE keep inside the scroll bars instead of having to keep scrolling right and left?
