    Scrambled screen?

    Whenever I get to the end of booting V.3.8, where it says the session will be terminated, it reboots but the screen scrambles in three or four different patterns. I can tell there is a program running, theres a blue bar on top of a white screen, but I can only make out those colors through the mixup. Anyway to relieve this?

    try one of the codes... that stop sertain stuff from running... brain frizzled... forgetinng everything...

    sorry... brain is frizzling in the heat...

    erm... so, it proberly has something to do with the GUI, or some program loading.. you know when it boots, you have that option of pressing F2 and you get those cheat codes, well, you can use on of them to get you to a different desktop manager, that might work... or you can use it to stop the knoppix cd from doing something...
