Thanks.

And there is a new development.

I went ahead and tried to reinstall knoppix, but something extremely weird happened.

I've done this twice on this system already, without any problems whatsoever, but this time.....

I boot the livecd, and everything is fine until it tries to start x. It stalls for a while, and then tells me that it failed to load KDE, and says i have insufficient memory. Which is crazy, I have 256mb ram in this thing, and i've installed this fine (from KDE) twice, and loaded the disc countless times.

Anyone know what this is about?
