I'm glad that you got things working. If there is a screen size/resolutiom or scan rate issue you will also find that there are cheat codes for that.

Kboppix is a Live CD. I do not encourage or participate in any way the installing of it to hard disk. See the warning in the wiki about hard disk installs for details. If you want an installed Linux system there are many to pick from that will not cause the problems that installing Knoppix is well known to cause. If you want a system just like Knoppix, install Debian, which Knoppix is based on. I suggest doing a net-install of the "testing" version of Debian.
