I am completely new to Linux, but thought I'd have a try how it feels and then maybe switch to it.
However even my first trial didn't work.
I use XP Home SP2
When the computer boots on the Knoppix 3.7 CD I get the first screen with the two pinguins on top and then the following message:
Welcome to the KNOPPIX live Linux-on-CD
Scanning for USB/Firewall devices - done
Enabling DMA acceleration for hda [HL-DT-STDVDRRW GWA-4161B]
Enabling DMA acceleration for hdd [CD-RW CR52]
Enabling DMA acceleration for hdg [Samsung SP1213C]
Accessing KNOPPIX CD ROM on dev/scdo.../modules/cloop.o: init module:
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
Can't find Knoppix filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.
Additional built-in commands available:
cat mount umount
insmod rmmod lsmod
Knoppix#
I would really like to try out Linux.
If anyone has any ideas what to do, please let me know.
Please remember that I'm not familiar with Linux commands.
Thanks
Joey
