I am having trouble running Knoppix on my laptop (Acer Travelmate 240)
I know the disk is good as it works on my desktop pc
I have burnt a 2nd disk at a slower rate (8x) still no good
I get to the boot prompt and if I press enter I just get a blank screen
with certain cheat codes I can get a couple of steps further where it says loading vmlinuz
miniroot.gz

then I get a lione of text at the top of the screen that says Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernal

At this point it just hangs nothing happens at all

I have tried all the cheatcodes
and I have read about 100 forum posts but still can't find an answer

Graphics details if you need them are Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME controller


can anyone help me please
