I am now replying using Firefox. The last day has seemed like a lifetime, but got there eventually. All I have to do now is transfer to a hard disk, so I have a nice server setup.. I am confident it will be dead easy

I'm sure we'll meet again. Once again thanks.
I found your other thread after I had written the above. But in that thread I and Underscore were trying to talk you through some other burning issues. It looked like the burning stuff was finally resolved. You threw in some mention of X11 then, but since I knew I would be on no help with X11 I just skipped past it. I didn't put the two posts together. Some others here may, but don't expect it.

Everyone's not in bed. This forum is very International. Eadz, the admin, is down under, for example. And, of course, Knoppix originates in Europe. You're in the UK, I'm in the U.S.

Glad you're up. I don't think you actually need the = sign in your cheat code string the way you said you are using it. But since you can string multiple codes together and unrecognized codes seem to be ignored, it shouldn't cause any harm.

You might seriously rethink that "all I have to do is xfer to hard disk" idea. Knoppix is intended as a Live CD and works best as a live CD. The HD install forum is second in size of problems only to the general support forum, and many of the problems in the general and other forums including Networking are actually HD install problems. Use the Live CD to learn Linux. Use it as a way to carry Linux with you and test it on other systems. Use it as a great recovery tool when a system will not boot into Windows. But consider installing Debian (the distro that Knoppix is based on) when you want to do a hard drive install. Or at least read through the hd install forum and know what you are likely to run up against. If you got frustrated getting a CD boot to work then you are going to hate a Knoppix HD install. The Debian install has really matured recently. At least look at it and try installing Debian before you decide that you want to install Knoppix onto a hard disk. And, as an example of how to include links to other threads in a post, read this post by James on the subject of Knoppix HD installs.
