Interesting. I just booted a laptop that I intend to ru FreeBSD on in
Knoppix, and as you said, perfecy X setup. However, since It's booting from
the CD, where would I find the X config file? Do I need to isntall Knoppix
to have access to this file? If so, how do I do thta, since so far I've
only figured out how to _boot_ from thier CD, not install :-)
