Actually, I seem to remember having to do something very similar when I tried (and eventually failed) to install RedHat...

When do I type this in? My system never gives me any opportunity before or during the boot-up... (my apologies if I'm being thick here)

Cheers,

Stu

--I have to do this for my "fast" system (AMD 900MHz Duron with 196(608?) KB of Ram:

boot: ' knoppix mem=190M ' == Make sure you cap the M

--The reason for it is that the Knoppix boot process can't autodetect the proper amount of RAM that's installed on the machine when it tries to boot. HD-installed Linux (including Knoppix!) works fine w/o any boot switches. (shrug) Only happens on that one machine. Klaus mentioned something a long time ago about certain motherboards / chipsets having this issue; I just passed on the workaround. Post results.
