It will do the same thing then with the command knoppix dma no or knoppix chaneyrunsthecountry dma or just knoppix dma. Unrecognized commands are ignored. no is unrecognized. My understanding (thanks to James) is that dma was enabled by default in version 3.4 through 3.7 (maybe 3.3. also, I'm not sure). Versions 3.8.x and 3.9 have gone back to nodma being the default, as it was in versions like 3.1. If knoppix no dma lets you boot then you are using a version where nodma is the default and your systems needs dma to boot properly, the no is being ignored.
