I have just downloaded, knoppix and tried to run it on my dell inspirion laptop, and it goes through the initializing, and then says to select resoltion, mode, then the screen goes green. My friend says that the problem is the resolution with your laptop, can anybody give me advice on what to do. I have an dell inspirion, 1150 , with window xp home edition.

Hi Pnoori,
By pressing F2-F3 you will see an overview of the cheatcodes wich can be used. There's also a cheatcode list: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix/knoppix-cheatcodes.txt
If resolution is the problem try 'fb800x600' (specify the resolution you normally use) and hit enter. If it does not help, try other cheatcodes. See also the knoppix tutorial: http://www.eleli.de/knoppix/docs/tutorial/english/knoppix_boot_details.html
