I'd be inclined to agree. Knoppix is not easy to upgrade.
Then Peter could just 'apt-get install debian-junior', at the moment gcompris, 
KDE Potato Guy and xteddies might be your limit for entertaining a two year 
old. But hey, he'll grow into it. ;-)

It sounds like the kind of thing caused by a kernel upgrade, but you can't 
pull that in from package dependencies. Can you? I'm thinking Peter has 
upgraded to a broken version of the pcmcia-modules.

The more informationthe better, please Peter. Error messages of the kind you 
get running commands from the commandline. I'm not familiar with laptops or 
Knoppix particularly, it's worth quoting obvious system info, like kernel 
versions, output of lsmod etc. if it seems at all relevant.

cheers
