Once you have booted the CD bring up a CLI and issue the command
knx-hdinstall
Here is the full how to address so you can read it.
http://www.freenet.org.nz/misc/knoppix-install.html
Once you have it installed on the HD, the next thing will be to see how
many of the IRQ's that Linux sees, you use the setserial command to see
what it sees, and also to set up the ones it can not see.
at a cli do  the following
man setserial
That will show you how to use the command. You will create a text file
that will be called during the system start up that will tell linux what each
serial port setup is.

I am still trying to get caught up here, my supposed vacation has turned
into a ball of something smelly and brown. I hope to try to get to it this
week as I have to address 3 issues dealing with radios at PacComm.
