Well, I RTFM'd more....

Its the move to Deb and unfamilair stuff thats giving me grief on what I guess might be considered an 'advanced' topic.

Problem is its not advanced to me in Mandrake... but im determied to get it working with Knoppix/Deb.

I updated the aliases file in the modprobe.d and update modules and it seems to have worked!!!!
Hooray.....

Now its just messing about with the init dir's I hope!!!!
