I think it could help many newbees if possible.

hardware settings are found in the directory
/etc/
put a copy of knoppix in your CDrom
boot it
copy the /etc folder to somewhere on your HardDrive (not where Mandriva isntalled it will break it)
P.S i found my TV card worked Pretty easy in Mandriva
Code:
KDE Menu> System> Configuration> Configure my Computer
Hardware Tab > TV Card.
chose your card maker and Tuner model.
PP.S it is apparently Possible to put Knoppix on you Harddrive
Sound card isnt working because ISA uses the very old OSS soundsystem
Mandriva Uses ALSA by default so someelse might know how to fix that.
Code:
KDE Menu> System> Configuration> Configure my Computer
Software Tab > Install Software
search for OSS
it might help
