I have succesfully run Knoppix on my desktop computer, I would also like to run it on my (old) laptop - IBM 380xd (p266 with 96mb RAM), I succesfully ran it a couple of times and it created a swapfile and config file on my hard disk which I was happy with.
I dont think I have done anything different but now when I boot from the knoppix CD it gets to detecting my mouse, seems to stop and then shows 'fread input/output error'.
Booting continues but crashes after detecting system settings on the splash screen, it then shows a blank screen with a mouse pointer (which works) and I have to reboot.
I thought it was a problem with the config file or swapfile but I have deleted those and still get the same error.

Can anyone help?

TIA Mike
