Greetings all! At the sugestion of a friend I'm trying Knoppix. I've dl'd ver 3.7, done the checksum thing, and burned it using Nero (and just in case the burn was bad....made another copy).
Here's what happens.
I put the disc in the drive, reboot, the disc is found, then it boots to the lovely Knoppix 3.7 screen with a boot prompt, and I get to use the F1, F2, F3 buttons. I type knoppix, or anything from the "cheatcodes", or just hit enter (tried this several times as you might guess), and it says....(everytime)
loading Linux24.......
loading minirt24.gz......
Ready.
then I get a blinking cursor, and it just sits there. The cd spins down and we all take a break and nothing happens. Anyone got a clue as to what is wrong here and how to fix it? I've had this same problem on both 3.7 discs and a 3.6 disc I got yesterday.
Thanks.
