I was having trouble getting past the Accessing Knoppix CD at dev hdc message at the booti up of knoppix 5.0. I had heard linux has trouble writing to the NTSF format so i reformatted the hd to FAT. It is still stalling at this screen. I was using the 3.5 version of knoppix at first but even when i did vga=0 once it got past the boot (after about 15 minutes of waiting) the screen just flickered.

i am trying to use this knoppix 5.0 on an old emachine 633.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
