I have a Dell Latitude Laptop that I have been running Zorin (Ubuntu derivitive) on. I just installed Knoppix from Flash drive and it went well and I was able to boot yesterday. I now booted up today and I get to where it says INIT: Entering runlevel: 5 and freezes. I am sitting at the root@Microknoppix:/#_ the underscore blinks for a few mins then stops and now I'm frozen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Have a look at "Check the ISO (http://knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes#Tips_.26_Tricks)" and also try the cheatcode "knoppix testcd"

Ok, but what is about "check the ISO" and "knoppix testcd" with the Knoppix DVD/CD you've downloaded and used for HD installation? And what type of installation (http://knoppix.net/wiki/Category:Hard_drive_Installation) have you done: "HD Install" or "Flash Install to HD"?
