I eventually found some of the answers. 1. Due to Knoppix's security setup you have to sudo commands so sudo modprobe dpt_i2o installs it. Never would have thunk it <G>!
2. Evidently /etc/hosts is symlinked to something so you have to destrory the symlink, then create your own file - even as sudo. Brett I.
