I have created slipstreamed Windows install disc with all my latest SATA/RAID Drivers and the drivers that came with my mobo, works great!
My question is can I do the same thing by editing the ISO, in other words the knoppix 3.8 doesn't recognize my sound card (Audigy2) or my onboard Gigabit Ethernet or my SATA/RAID setup. I am running the disc now on an older workstation and everything runs nice.
If I can update Knoppix with the drivers I need which folders(s) would I modify.

Thanks for any help, this is my first try with Linux and I am hoping to relegate Windows to simply a gaming toy.

It seems that you will have to compile a custom kernel with support for your devices. Are you using the 2.6 Kernel, ALSA should have support for the Audigy2 card. You would have to find out what chipsets your SATA and Networks devices are using. Along with if they enabled support for those devices in the Kernel.

Looking at the knoppix website there is also a 3.8.2 version out, which includes the 2.6.11 Kernel.

It seems like a pain in the rear for something that really shouldn't be, but it's not as hard as it looks.

not sure about SATA, but I have found many onboard PATA Raid setups are actually software....
