--Try some cheat codes (F2 at the boot prompt.) Sounds like you need to tweak your screen/monitor settings.

so i tried it a ton more times and did different things but nothing worked... so i burned a new knoppix CD... it worked!... welll.. it brought me to a boot screen but after typing knoppix to get started it just turned black and nothing worked....

then i was in the same situation with the last CD.... arghs... im kinda frustrated... i dont know what to do to just RESET the whole situation... i popped in a MS-boot disk and looked around at my partitions to see if knoppix had made one or something and i could format it... hmm

any advice? ive been reading the docs and stuff but havent found anything related yet...
