I am having trouble running Knoppix on my laptop (Acer Travelmate 240)
I know the disk is good as it works on my desktop pc
I have burnt a 2nd disk at a slower rate (8x) still no good
I get to the boot prompt and if I press enter I just get a blank screen
with certain cheat codes I can get a couple of steps further where it says loading vmlinuz
miniroot.gz
then I get a lione of text at the top of the screen that says Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernal
At this point it just hangs nothing happens at all
I have tried all the cheatcodes
and I have read about 100 forum posts but still can't find an answer
Graphics details if you need them are Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME controller
can anyone help me please

Might be the same I've run into, I got it working by remastering
a CD. (removed SMP and APM support, added ACPI support instead)

Same problem here. I was able to boot the MEPIS 2003.10.01 live CD(#1 - 2.4.22 kernel - see http://www.mepis.org ) with no problems (sees the built-in Ethernet and mousepad but not the wireless or a USB mouse I tried - I am posting this from Konqueror on the ACER).
Just type knoppix26 on your Acer TravelMate 240 (TM 240) when it says 'boot:' and it will work. Or at least mine does with Knoppix 3.4.
