Greeting, I have a bit of a problem here...
Background: I downloaded the Knoppix CD .iso torrent. Proceeded to burn .iso to cd. I changed my boot device priorities and load the CD.
Problem: After what looks like a successful booting of linux my screen will suddenly flick to black and remain this way. The only way to exit this is to restart the computer. Hmmm, curious no?
My thoughts are (1) maybe I dowloaded a corrupt torrent (2) a problem with my video drivers. I don't know how feasible each of these are but I figured I would ask for the opinions of experienced users before I start to labor over troubleshooting on my own.
Would appreciate some help :oops:
