nevermind, recopied at a slower burn rate as per suggestions elsewhere on the forum. allles gut.
So I've decided to take the initial plunge into Linux. Downloaded Knoppix Live CD and after some trial and error finaly got a bootable CD burned. Thing started nicely then I got messages
su: Module is unknown
INIT: ID "1" respawning too fast; disabled for 5 minutes
both lines repeat several times with the INIT: ID going through "1" - "10" although not nescessarily in numerical sequence.
I have no clue what's happening other than that the install is hanging up. Is this bad media or a hardware issue? Any ideas appreciated.
