I don't own an acer but I do repair a lot of Toshiba.

Have you tried any of the cheatcodes?

If not, hit F3 when you see the Knoppix splash screen. Try cheatcode
Knoppix dma or knoppix nopcmcia.

Hope this helps, Tom

I have succesfully booted knoppix 4.0 CD-LIVE on my

ACER ASPIRE 1692 WMLI
Centrino 1,73 GHz, 512 Ram, 80 giga HDD.

Just have to type failsafe before booting.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

URRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



You don't believe how happy I am !
I spent hours and hours trying UbuntuLive 5.10 with the help of the italian forum but didn't make it to run Xorg so i had to do everything through command line. And that didn't work either.
I've to rescue some datas from my Windoz crash....
