What are your 'results' - just running slow every which way?If so, what is the speed of your drive?
If you refer to the detection phases of boot, I've tried Knoppix in a half dozen machines, boot speed depends on the hardware of the system; some hardware is quick, some hardware needs nearly 2 minutes (give or take) to finish the green 'bargraph' detection section. If this is the problem, maybe you can specify boot options and make this go faster.

HTH, HAND.

I just went through this problem, burning 4 CDs... I'd get errors during bootup during the ramdisk setup, though bootup would go on for a while, only to hang with a black screen with a mouse arrow.

I finally burned the fifth CD with the *slowest* setting on the burning software's option. No problem once I did that.

I have no trouble with boot time with V3.2-2003-06-06 on my sys.

AFAIK the problem is the space.

Thanx everybody for the replies. The problem was poor cd media. For whatever reason they work fine with slightly smaller ISOs but give grief with the big knop iso. I picked up some new media and it worked fine.

Check out Gnoppix: http://www.gnoppix.org/

I have not tried this myself, but I do like the idea.

It looks like the download is not yet available, but I'm gonna keep an eye on it...
