Well I tried booting the disc on a different pc, it just gets to the Penguin and doesnt say anything and freezes, its a pentium 2, 512 ram, usb2 card, nic, ide controller, lots of stuff on the ide controller and usb2 card, what should I do
Sounds like you maybe have a bad disk.Originally Posted by oneeyedelf1
re downloaded it with a different computer and burnt it with a different burner, outta my brother's collection of blanks different brand purchased at a different times, and it still happens the same way on both computers
Still really sounds like a problem with the disk. There is some rare problems with certain brands of CD-ROM drives but I have an older Toshiba laptop & it reads the disk just fine so I doubt if it's that. You did burn the disk a an iso image, not just a regular data CD, right? You must have, I don't think it will even get that far if you didn't.
Try disabling dma with 'knoppix nodma' at the boot prompt.
