HEY EVERYBODY I JUST STARTED TO USE LINUX A MONTH AGO SO BEAR WITH......
i HAVE AN
HP DV1420CA LAPTOP
INTEL CENTRINO 1.6GHZ
2GB RAM
INTEL INTEGRATED GRAPHICS
100GB HD (PARTITIONED HALF AND HALF) NTFS / EXT3+SWAP
INTEL 2200 WIRELESS LAN
AFTER ALOT OF CHOOCHING I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET KNOPPIX INSTALLED ON MY HARD DRIVE. i HAVE THE GRUB LOADER INSTALLED SO I CAN BOOT INTO EITHER WINDOWS XP TABLET PCEDITION 2005 OR INTO KNOPPIX. I INSTALLED KNOPPIX THIS WAY: I USED PARAGON IN WINDOWS XP TO PARTITION MY DRIVE. THEN I REBOOT WITH KNOPPIX 4.0 DVD INTO KDE. I OPEN THE ROOT TERMINAL AND TYPE IN "KNOPPIX-INSTALLER" AND FOLLOW THE PROMPTS. BASICALLY I CONFIGURED THE INSTALL TO NOT FORMAT THE DISK, BUT JUST SET THE BOOT FLAG ON MY 2ND PARTITION AND TO SET THE INSTALL FOR "KNOPPIX LIKE ON THE CD" TYPE OF INSTALL. THE OTHERS ALWAYSLOCKED UP AFTER REBOOTING. eVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH SEEMS TO WORK FINE EXCEPT I AM STILL HAVENING TROUBLE FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET MY SCREEN RES UP TO 1280X768, AS OF NOW IT ONLY LETS ME CHOOSE UP TO 1024X768. iF ANYBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD TELL ME THANKS!
