Hi,

While i was trying to install knoppx 3.2 (which was on the Dutch computer magazine PCM (oct 2003)) i was getting the same error over and over..

stuff like
cloop: error -3 uncompressing
block 10007 65536/0/31749/0 233834657 - 233866406 end request
i/o error, dev f0:00
(cloop), sector 1280920
etc
which leads to a kernel panoc: no init found

Tried the cd on a amd xp2000 and no probs.

My old pc is a k6 300, 128 mb, 1,2 gig. The cd-rom player is an old burner. A hp 7100i. End of 1997 produced. It does not support cd's bigger than ~650 mb.

So i think that is the problem, or not? The player/burner does not support this 700mb cd.

So what are my options now?
Is there a possibility that the image is splitted in 2 cd's or making it smaller?
Or is there an older and smaller version?
There isn't much room left on the hdd. 400mb max.
Or maybe gnoppix?

Any suggestion is welcome!

Martijn.

You could try KnoppixKDE which you can get here (ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1/contrib/cdimages/) the ISO is only ~450 mb so it will fit on a normal CD-R with no problems. You may want to look at some of the other customizations (http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixCustomizations) of knoppix as well.
