Am attempting to get Knoppix v3.3 2004 02 09 to run on a sony viao
pcv-rx670 and am (almost) at the end of my rope.
I was marginally successful with the 2.78 SDT distribution. Booted ,
saved config to floppy. found out the dlink 520+ TI chipset is not so
friendly... i made some progress.
Foolishly assuming that a transition to 3.3 would be a small step up, i
burned the disc and went for it.
The gosh darn 3.3 CD wont boot. the vaio ignores it. the 2.78 CD boots
without a bootfloppy. i tried the mkfloppy.bat and lo and behold it boots
... until it gets to the "cant find knoppix : limited shell" error message.
Cant seem to find what I am looking for in the FAQ, docs or forum. Many
similar things (HD installs - which i cannot do) but nothing quite as
specific as I need.
Knoppix is just too darn hard - I am ready to give up on Knoppix and
retreat back to the safety and comfort of my Mac and os X .
