"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?
sorry, i meant knoppix is already up and running.
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.
im trying to search for something but im getting lots of links that is not related.
(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".)
for some reason booting knoppix while the enclosure is plugged causes it to hang (well i cant see any activity so im assuming its a hang). if i plug it after knoppix boots then i still cant see it. there are a lot of /dev/sdX entries and i tried doing a fdisk -l on each one but i cant access anything.
ciao!
