"Knoppix system set up and running"? Uhh... what do you mean by "set up and running"? Don't you usually just plug in a Knoppix CD and boot away? Or did you decide to install Knoppix on your hard drive? I have a Matrix 3.5" USB2.0 enclosure as well. All you need are the proper modules loaded (or a kernel with them enabled) for your USB controller, and the usb-storage module (or again, built into the kernel). I haven't had any problems using my USB2.0 enclosure from Debian GNU/Linux with 2.4.26 or Knoppix 3.4 2004-05-17 which also runs kernel 2.4.26. I don't have a copy of Knoppix 3.3 anymore so I wouldn't know if older versions of Knoppix had problems with usb-storage. (For whatever it's worth, you can boot with the USB enclosure plugged in or boot up then plug it in. Either way it "Just Works".) --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free software GNU/Linux Specialist : GnuPG 0x93B746BE : we refer to freedom, not price. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
