from the 'boot' prompt; if you just wait until it times out it should start knoppix but it will be in German. Type 'knoppix lang=us' to start it in english.
post back if it doesn't work.
Um consider me the total noob and i heard linux was good. So i tried knopiix which will return windows back to normal when i take out the disk, right?
And anyway i get in and i have to type in something at the bottom, it says "boot"
Can someone please walk me through the install?
But beware, this noob took 1 month before he got it on the disk correctly.

k i have the english version, but i tried knoppix lang=us anyway and no command at all the second timeOriginally Posted by CrashedAgain
Then a blank screen came up for like 10 min. Both times. So basically i just gave up
Im done with linux, i dont even know why its worth it.
thats it? just one go at booting it? and you give up? :O im shocked!!!
after you press enter at boot what happens just a blank screen? no picture of a penguin? no error messages? what it your hardware setup? try booting knoppix with the cheatcodes
knoppix26
this uses a differnt kernel the kernel is very important and can make a big differnce when booting. if you are sure about getting the english version dont worrie about knoppix lang=us so much. press f2 and f3 for more options at boot
two goes and you want me to type knoppix 26?Originally Posted by pureone
no space between knoppix and 26
you may want to try this command:
knoppix26 fb1024x768
this will set your framebuffer. most systems are capable of displaying this resolution. post back if it doesn't work
sorry but i still get a blank screenOriginally Posted by foamrotreturns
how many computers are you trying it on ? just the 1 if so what is its specs?
You must be joking. By the same reasoning I could say that I just threw in a windows disk, pressed enter and still windows didn't load to a nice desktop, so what's the big deal with windows?Originally Posted by Tonayie
As pureone said, post hardware info like video card/chipset manufacturer and model, type of display, harddisk connector type and so on..
Most likely you'll get knoppix to boot with some cheatcodes but we need more info to be able to help, otherwise were guessing.
