I do not really understand your tone. I am set! I did not install a desktop, thusly - everything had to done from command line (learn it?).

I am Debian GNU/Linux 6.0; using Linux image 2.6.32.5; LXDE Lightweight XII.

My system is fully functional, but only with the applications of my choosing. Gparted tells me that I am in fact running on ReiserFS, utilizing the same swap space established by Knoppix. And, I am using 1.91GB, as opposed to Knoppix 8.19GB. cat /proc/cpuinfo and meminfo tells me that I am running at 1.625GHZ, with full memory 1.25.

I no longer have video acceleration problems (I can go full screen). I no longer have clock problems. And, as you can tell - I no longer have an editor problem.

You guys take care. I am moving over to Linux Forums.

Knoppix was great. I still have it. However, I edited grub/menu.lst to hide it. Now if you power my system on, you must login to windows or debian.

After careful examination (20+ years as a end-user), my instincts tell me that Knoppix has a problem with AMD. And, as you all recommend - it is not intended for HD install. I used it to learn command line, by trying to fix all my problems. It taught me what I needed to know to choose the right distro for my system. I have loaded and tried at least 6 or 7 different distros.

bf24 (my bad - surely) is a boot cheat code that would once invoke a different kernal. It seems that later releases are more than likely beyond that kernal. Fortunately, my Debian CD is from 9/2010.

Take care.
