Hello!
I recently tried out Knoppix. Must say that i do like it. I'd also like it to install on my laptop ( Pentium II 265 MHz, 160mb ddr ram, 3.8 HB HD ).
At first i tried to boot from cd as i did on my other pc. But nothing. It just boots like usually to XP. So, i'd like to format the whole crappy thing and put Knoppix on it. I thought that perhapps win boot disk would help. Running fdisk on it. But when i got that used old thing that sopposed to remind a pc, it didn't came with floppy drive. And cd drive seems not to read cd's that i've burned.
I'm a totally newby and don't know what to do. If i could just manage to boot from Knoppix cd.
Maybe someone could help? I'd be most thankful.
