v3.2 works fine; v 3.6 gives a splash screen, waits for my to hit enter, then freezes, blank. I was happy with 3.2, except it doesn't come with perl-doc and I've wasted God alone knows how many hours diddling with dselect, apt-get, dpkg trying to get perl-doc installed. This might be merely a reflection of my competence.
Requesting pointers of two sorts: 1.) How to get perl-doc going on a 3.2 install (apt-get install perl-doc is no good) or 2.) How to get 3.6 running on this machine; what cheat codes, etc.
Many many thanks to all.

Heheh that's funny.

If apt-get update && apt-get install perl-doc isn't working then something's wrong. What error are you getting when you try to install perl-doc?
It works for me:
Code:
# apt-get install perl-doc

Try these boot options...
Try booting 3.6 with these parameters:
Code:
nolapic acpi=on nodma
I've got a 2140, and it took me a long time before I found those options, but they seem to work perfectly.

Are you running live-cd?
If so you can't install anything.
I'm just guessing because you talk about the differnt versions.

Tried it; give me:
Code:
Can't find image nolapic
Sorry, new to this forum, trying to answer all replies in this one post. I was trying to install perl-doc on an hdd install of knoppix 3.2.
Trying
Code:
apt-get install perl-doc
gets me
Code:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
perl-doc: Depends: perl (>= 5.6.1-8.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken pakages
I've tried apt-get update. I've tried apt-get -f install. I've tried dpkg --configure -a; all from either error messages or howtos.
Code:
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
[/code]

Sorry I wasn't more specific - you still need the image name, so enter:
Code:
knoppix nolapic acpi=on nodma
or
Code:
knoppix26 nolapic acpi=on nodma

Hooty-hoo! Thanks for the cheat-code; I'm looking at knx3.6 as I type.
Too bad it doesn't seem to have perldoc...but that's now another problem for another day. Thanks again for all the help!
