well i'm having some other issues with Knoppix on a stick, i think KDE doesn't work well with the firmware in my HP...(i have had similar issues before) so i'm just gonna put ubuntu on the jump drive since the GNOME set up for the most part is more stable on the particular computer i'm using it on

thanks though, that was a very useful link!
