Boot Hangs at autoconfiguring devices

[rwcitek]

well after trying a few cheat codes, I've got it to boot. First into text mode, then I tried booting into the normal mode. While doing this it actually 'saw' my hard drive and let me make a swap file on it.
However, Knoppix boots, but doesn't get further than showing the background. So I see the default desktop background, but nothing else.

It might help if you told us which cheat codes that you used.

Might? No, it will, especially if one of those cheatcodes was a number, e.g. 1,2,3, or 4. So, please tell us what you did that worked.

I've run Knoppix on an old 166mhz 64 meg system and it is painfully slow (and I haven't even tried it with recent versions).

I've just tried 4.0.2 on a 32 MB system with no swap. Knoppix boots into text mode with "knoppix 3" just fine, but it will not boot into any GUI (tried xfce, fluxbox, and twm). Is there a GUI more light-weight than twm?
