I used the live disk that I got with the Knoppix Hacks book, finally I was able to partition my hard drive and install knoppix. When booting up my PC I get the normal Dell screen (A32 BIOS) and then I get a black blank screen with only the word "GRUB." I did have this same problem with Windows before I decided to give up on it and go with a Linux OS. Now I do have a successful Knoppix OS that I run off of my USB thumb drive and it runs with no issues on my Dell Inspiron 1100.

My ultimate goal is to run Knoppix from my hard drive. Any help would be awesome.

My uncle does dabble in Linux and he believes it has to do with my boot.conf file. I dont know if this helps.

THANKS!
