Could you possibly give us some hints as as to the version? K5.1.1 works just fine for me.
Hello,
On an Intel macbook I can boot up the Knoppix disk, but rarely can I type boot options -- it won't take keyboard input most (but not all) the time. I have cleared nvram and that hasn't fixed the issue; any thoughts what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Wayne

Yes, it is 5.1.1 (english download), the one that works for you.
