Boot to Compaq Presario
Hello, I am a newbee to both this forum and to Linux. Patience please.
I am attempting to boot Knoppix Live CD to a Compaq Presario Notebook 1200; Intel 767 (Celeron); RAM 184; 4gb total;250gb available; Windows ME 4.90.30
Situation: Live CD appears to boot, goes through BIOS (I think) then the Penquin shows top left hand corner of black screen then screen goes black and stays black.
Alternative: If Presario cannot accept Live CD boot then I have a Toshiba Satellite with Intel Pentium III 697;RAM 256:total 20gb;XP Pro 2002 that I can try.
Can anyone tell me what's happening with the boot to the Presario?
Oh yes, the CD was ordered ground mail from OSDisc.com, Inc. It was not a download from net.
Any assistance will be appreciated,
