What are your 'results' - just running slow every which way?If so, what is the speed of your drive?
If you refer to the detection phases of boot, I've tried Knoppix in a half dozen machines, boot speed depends on the hardware of the system; some hardware is quick, some hardware needs nearly 2 minutes (give or take) to finish the green 'bargraph' detection section. If this is the problem, maybe you can specify boot options and make this go faster.

HTH, HAND.

I just went through this problem, burning 4 CDs... I'd get errors during bootup during the ramdisk setup, though bootup would go on for a while, only to hang with a black screen with a mouse arrow.

I finally burned the fifth CD with the *slowest* setting on the burning software's option. No problem once I did that.

I have no trouble with boot time with V3.2-2003-06-06 on my sys.

Thanx everybody for the replies. The problem was poor cd media. For whatever reason they work fine with slightly smaller ISOs but give grief with the big knop iso. I picked up some new media and it worked fine.

Check out Gnoppix: http://www.gnoppix.org/

I have not tried this myself, but I do like the idea.

It looks like the download is not yet available, but I'm gonna keep an eye on it...

You can also find clusterKnoppix there. :-)
Both english only...

BTW, maybe some mod can email the guy if he minds being in the mirror list?
