Knoppix Questions

[Brett I. Holcomb]

Okay, unfortunately I don't have a device on my desktop for / or any of the 
other mount points.  It booted to KDE 3.0.  When I tell it to create a new 
hard disk I only get a choice of floppy or cdrom.  A mount command from the 
command line shows /dev/root is mounted as / and is rw but I can't do 
anything with it.

Knoppix says the system is locked up but don't tell you how to unlock it 
<G>!
