I still remember when I first tried out Knoppix 3.2.. I liked it. I liked it a lot. Especially Fluxbox...

So today, I decided to give Knoppix 3.8 a spin.. downloaded it, burned it, and rebooted. Immediately I found out that my fast, 50x CD-Rom drive didn't boot it, but my slower, 32x speed CD burner did...

I waited until Fluxbox showed up... and waited... and waited... and waited.. Hell. I waited 15 minutes (that's right! FIFTEEN MINUTES!) until it FINALLY finished booting. Hell. Even my Windows 2000 boots faster than that. Even Knoppix 3.2 does it in less than half of Knoppix 3.8's time..

Eww'ed away by Fluxbox' default style, I went on to switch it... This is exactly the moment my whole liking for Fluxbox faded away. It switched to a new style the moment I selected it in the list... As a result, it got into an infinite loop between what looked like Merleykay and Lemonspace... There was nothing to do abotu it, so I rebooted my PC into Windows 2000 again.. Hurray for 3-minute booting time...

In 15 minutes, my whole liking for both Knoppix AND Fluxbox faded away..

Now for my actual question: how do I let Knoppix boot off my faster, 50x CD-rom drive? It's really a pain to have a nice OS boot that slowly, you know.. I can't give you much info about the hardware part, but I know for one that the LED of my 50x cd-rom drive never blinks on bootup... I'm also NOT able to select my 50x Cd-rom drive to boot from in BIOS settings...

Thanks for your time... Now let's hope I can regain my liking for Knoppix and Fluxbox again...
