Knoppix and drivers.

[DukeP]

Hope this is the right forum?

Im using knoppix version 3.3 (late november edition).
This distribution does not come with any sort of ATI/X/KDE support. Ive checked Ati's site, and theres some linux drivers available, but they really doesnt look anything like debian.

What I would like is for me to have a bootable cd which automatically installes the relevant drivers for my grafix subsystem (ati radeon 9500/9700 nonpro).

Anybody know a decent way around this?
Currently I have a CD that automatically starts up with my own settings; this made through setting up a decent boot, then using the saveconfig utility, then winiso the saved configs into the knoppix dir on the cd..
I havent got the required HD space to make a Harddisk installation, so I need to be able to make the hack from the .iso side.


All help appreciated!!

Now I could be wrong.... but I think Knoppix itself WON'T have such support, because the ATI drivers are not distributable with it. But I know morphix is modular, (Knoppix might be as well) So you should be able to add the support in yourself then burn it to disk... I would be curious if you find out how, then maybe I could make a live CD for Parhelia usage as well (or just a general one that has nVidia/ATI/Matrox drivers with it. That'd be nice.
