Knoppix wont boot

[Harry Kuhman]

There are disks for three versions, you will need disk one and two for your version. Just put disk one and the CD in at boot and tell it to boot from floppy. Then after you reach the boot screen and tell Knoppix to boot another screen comes up asking for the second disk. Put it in and you're good......

You might want to look at Smart Boot Manager, it can make a floppy that will boot from any CD (not just Knoppix), even if the BIOS does not support booting from CD. One floppy, boot anything.

An alternate solution I use on a computer where the BIOS just isn't quite right is a bootstap manager program called XOSL. It can boot multiple systems (even multiple copies of Windows on the same hard disk). floppies, CDs and so on. Has a lot of nice features. It has to be installed on the hard drive (although I recall some discussion of someone trying to install it to a USB key drive). Once you do this your computer will be able to boot any CD (as well as the OS or OSs you have on the hard drive). Note, Smart Boot Manager can also be installed to the hard drive, and is somewhat smaller (although less powerful) than XOSL.

Thank you for that information, I will look into it.
