The istallation of linux (Part 2)

When Installing Knoppix i didn't have many problems apart from when the GUI came up it kept freezing if i didn't move the mouse.

Now i have Installed Knoppix i can run commands from the command prompt. I ran some commands on the Bash.

$ Scat  /Proc /Version This command allowed me to see what version of linux i was using.

Linux version 2.6.39.3 (root@eeepc) (gcc version 4.6.1 20110526 (prerelease) (Debian 4.6.0-10) ) #21 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 23 09:48:39 CEST 2011

$ Scat /Proc /IOports This will give me all the peripherals attached to this computer.
