yes it is a live filesyatem you can uses to install from.
actually you can install gentoo from anything that will boot and give
you the appropriate tools really.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest (without research) that the
Intel chipset you have is supported in 2.4.20 kernels (RH9 default). What
kernel does your knoppix use?
I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.

teTeX is a Tex 'distribution' which is specifially intended for use under
Linux. The major author is one Tomas Esser, consequently the 'te' prefix.
LaTeX is a set of macro

lspci under Knoppix did not show up either the sound card or NIC.
I will try a later Knoppix version tonight as I only had V3.1 at home. The
later version may have newer drivers.

I just bought an ALBATRON PX865PE PRO and found that neither the on-board

If you haven't found out by now, you don't need to know... ;)
What's the difference between SuSE and gcc?
latex is a set of tex macros which bring things to a stage where it's
