The iimmediate problems are as follows

a) The USB keyboard is not recognised at all. This means I have to find a ps/2 keyboard to boot.
Try disabling usb-legacy support in your BIOS if possible.

b) Autoconfiguring just goes on forever. This means I use failsafe to start knoppix.
c) I can't work out to get the ethernet card to work. The docs say it is a "Realtek RTL8201BL" but I have no idea which driver this would need.
Post some hardware details. After you boot with 'failsafe' open a terminal and enter dmesg. Post the output please.
