I'm new..very new....first time i saw any version of Linux was this morning on my homebuilt from bits P400
So, the Knoppix CD booted on that after having stashed it in a cupboard for a while when it didn't work with my newer 'properly built' PC.

I have recently bought an Olivetti Xtrema P266s laptop that currently has no O/S...and i NEED Knoppix running on it as both Windows desktops have huge amounts of virii and YES i'm now ready to get shut of Windows *hooorah, they cry*
(Spec:P266MMX, 64mb RAM, ViRGE MX 2mb graphics,OPL3-SA3 sound,CDrom and no HDD yet (no caddy )

On to the problem:

Bootable Knoppix CD v3.1
(says go to www.knoppix.net/3.1/ but there's nothing there nowadays)
It gets right the way to the very nice looking white screen with Knoppix gear logo and then displays some kind of error box top right, a black box lower left and crashes out to the loader page saying:
X-Window session terminatedwith errors
Please check and retry '/etc/init.d/xsession start
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-slot-0
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module sound-service-0-3



Typing "failsafe" at boot: causes just an error of no such thing and other 'cheats' i've read about on here don't seem to make any difference either at that point.
I tested audio out with the supplied tester program but it doesnt work on any setting - soundcard is an OPL SA3 and Knoppix appears to load drivers for it in those early 'build yer hopes up' stages.


Remember i'm new lol
I know some of you seasoned people know what the fix is but could you walk me through it step by step? cos like i say...even trying 'failsafe' at boot doesn't do anything.

Thanks
