Hi all,

I was trying to run knoppix 9.1 off of a flash drive on a Microsoft Surface laptop 1st gen (1782).

Pressing the volume down after pressing the power button boots from the usb, I can get into the bios settings with using volume up after pressing the power button.

It gets as far as telling me what the cpus are, then it says "waiting for usb" and then just stops, and drops to a sh where I can't type anything on the surface laptop's keyboard.
