Sounds like your CD is OK then

You didn't mention it in this thread. You shouldn't expect me or other users to have read or remembered everything that you have written. If you want to point to other things that you have talked about in other threads or at other places on the web you can provide links so people can find what you are talking about.

You likely know more about it at this point than I, but if I'm correct about what it is I would think this foum or the general support forums would both be good choices (there is some overlap so it's not always easy to say what the best choice for a post is. It is much simpler to determine when a post has been put in a forum where it doesn't fit at all or when there is a much better choice.) But don't suddenly ask about a topic like X11 when the original topic of the thread had no relation to it, in this case that topic being how to check a CD.

If you used the 2 cheat code in your boot line, then you told Knoppix to not start the KDE desktop. You san still run a non-graphical program by typing it's name at the command prompt. For example: ping or man. If you are not using the 2 then the kde desktop should have started, it could be that there is some issue with your hardware that is keeping it from starting (which implies that maybe the question could go in the hardware forum. I would put it there if you ralated it to particular hardware like your video controler. I would keep to the other two forums if it were a more general question about X11.) There may be some way to start X, KDE and or other GUI tools at the command prompt (like startx). But I really don't know what the proper way to do this is in Debian/Knoppix. Which is likely why I didn't get involved in other threads where you mentioned X11.
