Hi,
Im new to Linux and am currently trying out the Knoppix disto which I have 2 questions about, here goes:

1. How can I get my Terratec DMX 6 Fire soundcard running on Knoppix/Linux in general

2. Can I run the Knoppix CD while XP is open

Thanks, I am an extreme newbie to Linux so if there is complicated stuff to explain please go easy!

1) not sure. Do a lspci for us and give us a printout of the chipset info from the audio card. Its a company i'm not familar with and possibly not supported by alsa.

2) the only way to do it is with vmware or the like.

erm Ispci? could you run me through this process please, i dont have a clue

Thanks

[mrburmann]

and what is vmware?

[utanja]

execute from the root console the following
lspci

it will return a listing which we need for you to copy to this forum...

You can run linux apps in windows if you have an emulator. VMware is one and many use cygwin as well. Its easier to just run knoppix on boot. Put the disk in, boot up, run knoppix, take disk out, reboot, and knoppix is gone...doc
