knoppix no apic
and see what happends
I am new on linux. Trying to run knoppix 3.2 and 3.3 on my inspiron 5150 I find the same problem.
Also tried with linuxin and failed.
With debian the install program can't find the files rescue.bin and drivers.tgz on the cd1
Worth asking to Dell support?

I don't follow. You can boot Knoppix but the install fails?Originally Posted by yellowtrolley
When you say 'with Debian' do you ,mean you are trying to install Debian from cd or are you still trying to install Knoppix?With debian the install program can't find the files rescue.bin and drivers.tgz on the cd1
Hmm- I highly doubt that the idiots (er um technicians) at Dell know or even care at all about Linux but it won't cost anything to find out.Worth asking to Dell support?

Dell: "Oh, sorry. We don't support anything but windows." <click>
