sorry I don't think your problem is related to mine...

I wonder to fix my problem if there is some way of booting off knoppix in a text-only mode... then installing linux nvidia drivers, done some research on that and found this:

after downloading "NVIDA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run"

you would use the command:

sh NVIDA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run

and then,

sax 2 -m 0=nvidia

I don't know if this would fix my problem but how could I do it so that any time I boot off the cd I don't need to keep installing the drivers, is there anyway of burning a cd and including the drivers or something...

Sorry if this is way off the realms of possibility.
