Thanks for the response. I get to the basic knoppix boot prompt when booting from the CD. When I issue the "knoppix lang=us" command , I can see knoppix booting but loses the display, possibly because the resolutions may not be matching. I tried the screen = 1064 X768, which is what I use with windows, but the screen is still blank. May be I need to issue a different command ?. By the way I have the ATI All in Wonder Radeon card.

I have installed knoppix on my IBM 600E laptop and that works fine.

All help is greatly appreciated.
