Hi. I've never done anything like this before (except using Boot Camp to dual boot windows on my Mac), and I'm having some problems. I'm running on my PC (nothing to do with the aforementioned Mac) and whenever I boot from the live CD, I get to the boot screen where it has the Knoppix logo, I enter the code:
Code:
 knoppix lang=us
after the boot: prompt. After that, I get a black screen with 2 penguin logos at the top, and under those it says (color accurate more or less):

Linux Kernel 2.6.31.6, 1998 MB RAM.
CPU 0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz @ 2128MHz, 4096 KB Cache
CPU 1: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz @ 2128MHz, 4096 KB Cache
Knoppix 6 found at: /dev/sr0
>>> Starting in Live-Mode. <<<
>>> Please do not remove medium until shutdown! <<<
INIT: version 2.86 booting

and then it just stops. I can only get rid of this by turning off my computer by pressing the power button. I've been waiting for 5+ minutes for this! Help!
