Okay, unfortunately I don't have a device on my desktop for / or any of the other mount points. It booted to KDE 3.0. When I tell it to create a new hard disk I only get a choice of floppy or cdrom. A mount command from the command line shows /dev/root is mounted as / and is rw but I can't do anything with it.
Knoppix says the system is locked up but don't tell you how to unlock it <G>!

The system is a dual PIII 933 with an Adaptec 3210S RAID card. Gentoo's boot CD hardware detection won't let me install the module for the 3210s (dpt_i2o). However, the card shows up on boot with it's RAID and hotspare and the RH 7.3 XFS install disk will let me install the module. I can't use the XFS CD because it's missing utlities I need so I wanted to try Knoppix.I booted Knoppix to the command line successfully but when I do a modprobe dpt_i2o (which exists in the modules directory) I am told the operation is not permitted. I assume that's because everything is mounted ro - I can't even save the hosts file if I modify it. I get an error about can't save linked files. What's going on with this distro - how do I get it to allow me to install modules. I went to the Knoppix English forum and tried to search but the results are all in German and I forgot all my German years ago!right click on the device icon for the device you wish to remount, and there should be an option to mount it rw. from there you'll be in business, i think.
