[NoJock]

Hi: All
I am totaly new to Linux. Have some hardware experance and not to good at spelling so if i do miss spell somthing for give me.
I just recently have gained an interest in linux someting to play with.
Computer Dell Latitude D510 celeron processor 1.4Ghz 40 gig hd running totaly from boot CD
Worked right out of the box, however the wifi (wich works great did take time to reserch and set up), is missleading
on how to setup. centrino intell 2200bg mini pci card.
I dowloaded both the DVD and CD for 4.0.2 the CD seems to configure ok but the DVD has problems in set up wanting a password could not get it to configure at all.

Thanks Knoppix for a great learning Tool.

Hi there.

Knoppix v. 4.0.2 is the first version of knoppix i have succesfully loaded on my Gateway M675. Although it loaded, some hardware was not recognized, the sound card is hopeless (as far as i can tell) and the wireless card is detected (with a wrapper) but dosn't want to work. I swapped out the broadcom wireless card for my GF's intel card and it worked on boot. Also the graphics card is a little glitchy, i cant force any res higher than 1024X768. (what you would expect from ATI). my sys info is:

Intel P4ht 2.8Ghz, 512mb 400Mhz DDRam, ATI Radeon Mobility 9600 w/128mb, 100Gb HDD(fujitsu 5400rpm), Broadcom wireless B/G, sagmatel cmajor sound card, WXGA 1440X900.

PS: oh yeah.... the P4 with HT shows up as dual processors. Two penguins show up on boot screen.

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!

Laptop: Acer Aspire 5000
Knoppix: CD version KNOPPIX4.0

It booted perfectly with no cheatcodes. I haven't explored all the details yet. DHCP got me hooked up to the internet (via cable) with no problem.

It's beautiful.

I'm using it to recover data that I messed up when I went berserk installing Debian (I don't blame Debian -- I really did some dumb things). So far, so good. Thank heavens for "testdisk" (and photorec).

I have no idea what you mean by knoppix is ripper but of course you can't install it with no problems. See answer #2.

U may need to do some tweaking with cheatcodes. Check

http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes

For an Acer Aspire 5504, the following works:

boot: knoppix noapm noapic noagp xmodule=fbdev

Do a bit of tweaking with the cheatcodes and report back in here the "symptoms" u see.

Gd luck!

My Compaq M2105US is running live under it very well. Wireless is an issue at first but solved fairly easily with Liunxant drivers. Booted right up with the live CD under Knoppix. :P
