I decided to mess around w/ Knoppix, so far it seems pretty sweet, detects everything great. It boots right into Kde, I don't get the Kmenu, though, just icons and the browser window w/ an error message saying it can't read the cd. If I try to change directories in the browser it freezes up. I can't close the window and I can't open a terminal to kill it by pid b/c I don't have the kmenu. Imma try booting into gnome or WM w/ the 'cheat codes', but thought I'd ask here, too. Maybe I just have a fried d/l. Thnx.
