Wireless drivers on Knoppix

[flushing_ny]

hi

i have Linux knoppix 5.0 on CD, but not installed on my hdd. I'm not sure how my wireless card would work with my pc, but then again, i haven't really tried.

I'm running the Linux platform from the CD itself, but I don't know if removing the Linux CD to insert the driver CD for the wireless card will affect the knoppix desktop.

How can I install Linux to my hard drive permanently, so that I can subsequently install the drivers I need for things like a wireless card, an external CD/DVD-RW, and so on?

thanks.

get a proper distro, like fedora or ubuntu. and don't hijack someone else's threads.

I'll try that... and I had no intention of "hijacking" another person's thread. It's just that my situation seemed similar to this and just wanted some pointers, that's all. Sorry to inconvenience anyone.

Knoppix is a perfectly fine distribution. If you need help with your Linux wireless cruft, go visit www.linuxwireless.org - that is where I go when I have to deal with this cruft.
