When i boot-up, it scans for USB/firewire devies.. enables DMA acceleration for hdd and hdc.. then i run into a problem. It says
"Accessing KNOPPIX CD at /dev/hdc...cdrom/KNOPPIX/modules/insmod: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem. sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press restart button to quit.
Additional builtin commands available:
cat mount unmount
insmod rmmod lsmod"
and it wont go any further.... im a novice to linux and command line.. i tried messing with some things.. /cdrom/KNOPPIX/modules/insmod.. got the same error again. cat locked up the command line.. im stuck. Can anyone help me? is my cd just corrupt or something?

ahh... thank you much, got it working now... download was corrupt
Did you use a mirror the first time? Was the ISO you downloaded slightly larger than it should have been? I had that problem an awful lot (about 50%) before Knoppix started becoming available by BitTorrent, although I've never had any other ISO download bad. BT is faster and more reliable.Originally Posted by cybergod47
yes i did use a mirror.. the file was exactly the same number of kilobytes.. but i tested it again the md5 file, which i've never done before.. and the numbers were way off.. works fine now that i redownloaded it. there was a proble on the purdue.edu mirror i saw though. the iso hosted there is only 490ish megabytes.. while the one im using is 692...
haha can you give me the mirrior link im have the same problem...
see my first post in this thread.Originally Posted by snakieee

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.
still wont work... can my laptop just not be compatible...?
It seems pretty unlikely, but you have not posted much information either. About all I know is that you wanted a mirror link for something. I advise against using the mirrors and suggest BitTorrent instead, I find it much more reliable as well as much faster when set up right, which is what I hoped you would get from the link. But the link also gives proper burn information and how to check the md5 checksum to see if a mirror download is corrupt or not (if it's not corrupt then this is no reason to download the same file again by BitTorrent). I think it also mentions cheat codes to get past some boot problems due to hardware detection issues. But since you gave no clue what you problem is that's about all I can tell you.Originally Posted by snakieee
cheat codes
