--What kind of connection is the cdrom drive using, USB? If so, then the problem is that even tho the BIOS supports the cdrom, knoppix doesn't know how to access it with the standard scsi-emulation stuff when it starts up.

--If you have 700MB free space on the HD, copy x:\knoppix\knoppix to c:\knoppix\knoppix and boot with the knoppix cd. You shouldn't have to use a boot floppy since the CD won't be detected; knoppix will find itself on the HD.

--I warn you though, with tablet PC you're in uncharted territory. You'll probably have to play with the cheat codes to get it booting properly, and you probably won't be able to access some of the built-in hardware.

BTW, how are Yakko and Dot?

Right now I'm trying to see if I can't get a Tablet PC I'm playing with to boot off of the Knoppix CDrom image from 20 May 2003.

Right now, it recognizes the CD on boot, goes to the knoppix bootprom. However, after that when it starts to load it can't find the volume on which Knoppix is (the CDrom).

The CDrom is an external plug in (Has to be, tablets are too small). It does see it long enough to allow initilization. The attached keyboard does function at the bootprom, but losses functionality when it starts the actual load processing.

let me know what you need from me to figure out whats not talking.
