Gee, if only there were some way to write down those 3 lines of information and pass it along to those you are asking for help!

I would make sure I followed all of the instructions in the downloading faq, and if I did then I would try some of the codes suggested in the cheat code section of the wiki.

I am having the same problem. After the mirt.gz loads the screen goes black. no messages, or anything else. However, if I use the debug or failsafe cheat code I get the following

invalid compressed format (err=1)

System halted


Any ideas on this?

If you are having the same problem, you just might consider that my suggestion would apply to you also.

Welcome to Knoppix.net


any suggestion?
Some questions:
- What version of Knoppix are you using?
- Have you looked at the Tips&Tricks (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes#Tips.26Tricks) section of the Cheatcodes page?
- If yes, what boot options did you try and how far did you get in the boot process?
- Are you getting any error messages and, if yes, what exactly do they say?
