ok, ive had my first 30mins of my life with linux/knoppix. not bad i must say. the gui is simple enough to follow, but still lots of apps im not familiar with.

first boot failed. so i went to help(f2) and it booted. however, it does not detect my 3com gigabit lan on my mobo-so no internet connection and back to xp for now.

also i went to ctrl center to fix my display settings-it was using a generic display at 800x600 so i changed it to 1152x864 etc and quit but it disp that changes will only occur on next reboot. i did that and no change as expected since it could not write the setting anywhere since no hdd.

if you change settings and so on, you do need it to write to disk dont you?
otherwise it wont keep your changes on next boot. i have some space on my hdd and i could create a new partition on it vis partition magic and give it some space to write to. will this work? im also unsure how to do this?

some info abt my pc:
asus p4p800dlx mobo with onboard sound & lan
1024mb mem
hercules 3d prophet 9600pro
