Where can I read up on autodetect/hotplug services for
Knoppix?  Is there a service that controls this?    

I want to understand what is going on here, since I am
so used to mount/umount.

Magic.  Magic?  Magic?!!?  

Maybe Tinkerbell will fly along and spray my laptop
with her magic pixie dust and fix the wireless and
setserial problem.

Nothing special about it other than a newer kernel,
and some changes to some icons. If your apt-getting
your packages, there is no bother, but I booted off of
the disk to see if it would detect my pcmcia card.  It
didn't.
