This sounds like an "in-the-heat-of-the-moment" post.

I did have similar problems especially with scsi, and eventually I used the "expert" option, which asked me questions along the way. It is true that it also took me a while to work out how important these "options" were, and that I intially ignored them because they were called "cheatcodes", which I associated with games actually.

However, I do not think it is a user friendliness problem, simply a documentation problem. However, it is hard to write documentation for newbies when you are not a newbie anymore. You skip things involuntarily.

In the end, people will ask you to check your abilities with the "search function". Several searches are required, because many posts which deal with this problems are not always given the most appropriate title. For example, look at your own title for the post, do you think a person with a similar problem to yours would find it easily?

I am not reprimanding, simply reducing the size of this problem because it is easily corrected. Knoppix is an excellent concept and distro, but you have to expect a certain amount of "no pain, no gain".
