Hi there,
make sure you are using the latest version ( what version are you using ? )
knoppix desktop=wmaker
or any other listed in the "F2" screen should work...
Hi all....my first post and my first time using the Knoppix Live CD
Im trying to convert my schools tech department partially to Linux as a learning tool....found Knoppix and thought that would be great - run it off the CD and not install anything (Overly cautious lab director). Ill list hardware for the sake of it:
Pentium MMX 199MHz
32 MB Ram
24X CD-ROM
...maybe 2mb integrated graphics...knoppix has trouble with that one
1) First Problem: These computers are soo old that it cant boot from CD-Rom...so i went into Winblows 98 and made a boot disk.
2) Got in... now i know these computers plain can't run KDE3 well, so i was thinking Fluxbox or IceWM (it is wm, right :P). But if I run the command .... idk, dont have the command I used in front of me....something like knoppix (something)=fluxbox it boots into KDE. Can someone help me with the boot command for Fluxbox or Ice?

Im using the newest version of knoppix...i have to manually enter the screen modes for this dinasour of a graphics card, but im ok with all that. I just cant appear to enter the boot switches. After i type desktop=fluxbox (or w/e else i see in help) and press enter, it automatically loads KDE. Thanx for the reply![]()
Hi it is important that you type:
The word knoppix needs to precede the command. Otherwise the option is not recognized by the kernel.Code:knoppix desktop=wmaker
