I am brand new to Linux . This is my first introduction ever. I have an old Compaq workstation , not sure what model. I am running windows XP and am attempting to install Knoppix linux 3.9. when I get a few min into the boot up from the cd I get a msg about pressing the space bar, then it does some things and then the monitor goes "nuts" I get a bunch of color lines . I tried several monitors and they all do the same thing. Is this a Bios issue? Can anyone offer some advise
