I have installed Knoppix on computers before, and never had a problem. Now, I have this older computer I want to give away to a needy family and have Knoppix running on it, but the install is giving me trouble. The install completes, but I can't get it to boot into X, and once I log in at the text login prompt and type "startx" it blinks, coughs and then gives up with no X. I can't see anything in the messages that indicates the problem, but I'm not very good with this stuff.
The computer is a Gateway, 350Mhz Pentium II with 128MB RAM and a 10GB HDD. I have a 500+MB swap partition configured. Knoppix 3.8.1 and 3.7 both work beautifully when run from CD on this computer. I'm installing with the "Beginner" option of the knoppix-installer script, for a multi-user env. with hardware detection.
Where do I start?
