I have successfully completed a hdinstall of the KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-06-06-EN.iso on my Compaq Presario 12XL125, no problems whatsoever. Specs include:
AMD K6-2 533 MHz
192 MB (PC100 SDRAM)
Trident Blade AGP 4 MB (Shared)
13.3 in. TFT active matrix (1024x768 @ 24-bit)
6x DVD-ROM
Via Onboard Audio
Acer TravelMate 234 LC is running Knoppix 3.2 (danish version from 'tyge.sslug.dk/knoppix' from april) when booting 'knoppix noapic'.
Hd install also ok - then the linux boot entry in lilo.conf must contain the noapic kernel option.
Have not not tried USB and modem yet. The rest works ok.
Knoppix is really a nice thing. Just tell your pc vendor that you won't buy before he has booted the machine successfully with the latest knoppix :-)

I've got a Compaq Presario 710US, 1GHz, 256mb, Ethernet, DVD, running Windows XP. I want to dual-boot with Linux, and was originally going to use Red Hat, but someone suggested Knoppix. Anyone know what problems I might face or willing to give me some extra info?
Enter your machine model number into G4L and see what you can learn. Enter it here in the search field too. Then you pretty much just need to boot Knoppix and see what happens. That's the beauty of Knoppix- you don't have to install anything before you try it. Compaq's can be a little temperamental as I understand it.Quote:

Just setup a dual boot Knoppix/XP laptop on a Averatec 3150HS Notebook computer.
The sound isn't working, but I'm sure I can fix that. AND, I'm glad that QTParted came with Knoppix because Partition Magic wasn't doing its magic with NTFS.
Here is a URL that has more info about this laptop

It works fine for me on KDS Valiant 671XH, 20 GB HD, 512 MB RAM, DVD/CD-RW (I haven't yet tried to burn any CD's), but I can't figure out how to get a password to change the date and time; nor how to make my wonderful Logitech Trackman Portable (3 button; PS/2) work!
I have a Toshiba Satellite 1415-S173 and Knoppix works right off the bat. I just have to change:
xkbset bouncekeys 20
xkbset slowkeys 20
xkbset -bell
and set up my orinoco wifi card.
After that, everything works fine!
For whoever is compiling a list:
Compaq Presario 1700N
- 700MHz PIII
- 128MB RAM
Toshiba Satellite 1555CDS
- 380MHz AMD K6-2
- 190MB RAM
These two work, no codes; you may want to manually set the res on the Toshiba to 1024x600, just because it has a weird display adapter.
Powerbook G4 550MHz (For the guy who mentioned Mac. ^_^)
- 550MHz G4
- 1028MB RAM
- Virtual PC 6 Emulator
Erm. See my post on this one. It's trippy, but it works.
:shock: hay it work with my toshiba . :D
