i had used knoppix b4 , first time i installed it into mbr with lilo - prefect!!

but now , after i fromatted all my hd's , i try to install the new 3.4 and it just wont load , i tried EVERYTHING , the main problem i think is that the loaders such as lilo GAG and others just dont seem to "see" the linux
when i use the floppy from the install i get ERRORx01 , no matter what
and if i use GAG it just doesnt see it , and so on .
of course MBR install james my comp and i get just 01010101 when i boot.

i just dont seem to get what is the trouble here , maybe i install it wrong or maybe it must be installed in a certain way or place on the hd and i missed that , i duno

plz help
tnx
