	Ok, that did help somewhat.  What is going wrong is I apparently need to 
update the NVIDIA driver that comes with KnoppMyth.  The one on the cd is a 
bit out of date for my 7300-something video card.  I got to the point where 
you turn off X, and drop to a console login.  Now the only thing that seems 
to be holding up the works is that KnoppMyth won't 'find' either a cd in 
the drive, or an usb-dongle with the file on it.  I am sure that I am 
missing something relatively stupid, but how do I convince it that there is 
a cd drive or usb drive attached and ready.  I tried mount /hda for the cd, 
and mount /sda and /sdb for the usb dongle, but keep getting an error that 
tells me that neither exist in fstab.

	Help?
