I haven't had a chance to really do much else. It is late here and I'm getting tired. I found Debian and it is a neat thing. The thing I was stumbling over was whether or not it was on the knoppix cd. To my knowledge it wasn't. I'll get it from debian sometime very soon.

Again... thanks a lot.

Try this for the fstab copy the one that is there now for a backup with cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.knoppix then edit the /etc/fstab there are a lot of changes here so it is always good to have a backup that you know works in case you have to copy it back.

Code:
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.

# filesystem  mountpoint  type  options  dump  pass

I see that you have a /usbcdrom for a mount point for the USB CD-ROM you have created the directory for this with the mkdir command? And the uid & gid options should be the user number that you see with the id command. When you try to access the cd's and usb stick from the desktop you should create new shortcuts and use them for the access this way you can be sure that nothing will go wrong by having modified the old ones for re-use.

Knoppix is Debian once you put it on the HD or for that matter run it from the cdrom it is just a bootable form of Debian with a whole lot of scripts that allow it to run from cd. So to get packages once you have installed to the HD you use the Debian archives and apt-get to install new ones or upgrade existing packages already installed.
