    Screen looks ugly + partioning

    Hello!

    First of all: I'm using Knoppix on Virtual PC.

    Okay, so here comes the problems.

    As you can see in the picture. It's very unclear and ugly. How do you fix this?
    I'm a linux beginner and been searching and found out that I should configurate xorg but there is no corgcfg and xorgconfigure command.

    Could anyone help me with this?

    Second problem: When I run fdisk /dev/hda I get "Unable to open /dev/hda". I've also tryed to run "sudo fdisk /dev/hda"

    Thank you very much!

    Hello lost-member,

    Welcome to Knoppix.

    I also run Knoppix under Virtual PC (VPC for Mac 7.0.2) on OS X 10.4.5, so Knoppix can run smoothly under VPC. The only issue I've had is with detecting the correct NIC, but that has a simple workaround.

    Some questions for the first problem:

    - What version of VPC are you running?
    - What is the host OS and version?
    - What version of Knoppix are you running, 4.0.2 CD?
    - For VPC settings, how big is the PC memory?
    - For VPC settings, how big is Drive 1?

    For the second problem, can you boot into Knoppix, open a terminal, and type the following:

    Code:
    true ; ( set -x
    cat /etc/knoppix-version
    lspci
    cat /proc/partitions
    cat /proc/meminfo
    cat /proc/cpuinfo
    swapon -s
    ) &> output.txt
    Please post the contents of output.txt here.

    Regards,
