Its hwsetup tool relies on the Red Hat libkudzu facility to identify hardware, load
appropriate modules, and create necessary device files.
For hardware that can??™t be detected, there are many boot options you can add to properly
identify (or skip over) selected hardware devices. Some of them deal with particularly
sticky issues related to video cards and running on laptop computers. (See Tables 11-1
through 11-3.)
Automatic desktop startup??”Instead of just dropping you to a command line, KNOPPIX
does its best to start up a complete KDE desktop environment. Along the way, it adds
some nice features, such as desktop icons that give you access to your computer??™s hard
disk partitions.
Configuration tools??”Some hardware either can??™t be perfectly detected or requires
some extra setup. You can access KNOPPIX-specific configuration tools for configuring
your printer, TV card, sound card, network connections, and other features by clicking
the desktop icon that looks like a squished penguin.
Save setup??”You don??™t have to lose the configuration you have done for KNOPPIX
every time you reboot. Click the configuration menu to save your configuration??”
including your personal desktop configuration, files on the desktop, network settings,
and graphics setup (X)??”to floppy disk, hard disk, or USB memory stick.
