Is there a way to get other drivers in Knoppix? I want support for the ALS4000 (a sound card) and Broadcom iLine10 network card (LinkSys supposedly has drivers). Can they be added? Re-burning a CD wouldn't be a problem. I just need to get a LiveCD type thing with support for this hardware.

Just put the modules somewhere in /lib/modules/<version>/kernel, and make sure they match the kernel version.

I think you'd want to do a depmod (with appropriate -b option) before burning also. I don't know Knoppix's filesystem tricks very well, but I doubt the module dependency maps are in a writeable location.

Awesome... first try I compiled the module for 2.4.19 instead of 2.4.19-xfs, but second try it works. Sweet :)
