Just received the Knoppix 6.4.3 in the mail from OSDisc.com. The disc works great on two of my desktop computers, but I need this to work in an old Sager laptop I just bought for $66. It "almost" boots up, but always gets to the point of the penguin appearing on the screen, then the voice says "initiating startup sequence" and then the screen goes black for just a second, then the penguin reappears and the voice starts over again, then the screen goes black again for a second, then the penguin reappears, etc, etc. in a never-ending loop.

I am a newbie, and am not even sure where or when to start typing in cheat codes or how to do it. I have tried a few things, but have had no success. (The Knoppix disc works great on my other two computers, so I'd like to see it work on this old laptop.)

Any clues or ideas?
