First of all, I am totally new to Linux. With that said. . .I downloaded the iso image of Knoppix and burned it to a CD.

My computer wouldn't boot it from the CD right so I created a boot disk.
This worked and Knoppix booted up ok except for one error message. Everytime I boot up it says:

You passed an undefined mode number
I press RETURN and it comes up with:

Video Adapter VESA VOA
Then it gives me 6 choices of different modes and I select 0, and it usually boots up right. Sometimes though it will come up:

Probing SCSI. . .aic7xxx.o
and freezes there.

Also I can't get my configuration to save. I went to K>Knoppix>Save Configuration and I saved it to the floppy drive. Then I rebooted and typed Knoppix floppyconf and it didn't work.

Any help would be great, Thanks
