So I am wondering if it's a Knoppix special feature or if I don't have installed the required packages or configured them correctly. Cheers, JeromeSlightly OT, but I've noticed that knoppix never has any trouble detecting and starting the sound card, whereas it's always been very difficult to get sound working on debian. Is there some sound magic going on in the knoppix system that might be helpful?
If you check the Knoppix startup in Klaus' /etc you'll see that he has written special scripts that do all of that. When you copy the Knoppix system you don't get that anymore and those tricks are not in the Debian system.
Porting them? Hugo
