Knoppix raid controller
Can someone tell me the boot option to run Knoppix on a box with a raid controller. Normal start loaded to x with the Knoppix bg, then closed down fully, appeared to be a normal exit (no room for swap?). Failsafe start went right through to load kde Konqueror but no mouse. I viewed some directories ok inc C drive which is in hde1 by using alt + arrows to navigate. alt/F2 also brought up a kde miniterm. I also booted off a Peanut floppy and tried fdisk with -l, /dev/hda, /dev/hde, cfdisk. All failed to read the ptn table. Box is running win98 with a 40g hd, C: is almost full shows as 10g, D: is about 1/2 full shows as 20g, if his size is correct, where is the other 10g?. 512k ram. Drive C possibly has some nasties in it. TIA Barry

(alt-f2 then type knosole or xterm) i just thought, i assume c: is on the raid drive, what makes you think knoppix is not co-operating with raid if you can see c: ?? I also booted off a Peanut floppy and tried fdisk with -l, /dev/hda, /dev/hde, cfdisk. All failed to read the ptn table. no raid support in peanut perhaps?
