I have a Dell Dimension 4550, P IV, 512 MB RAM, nvidia card. I have tried to run several different knoppix live CD versions, using just about every cheat code including failsafe, with no success.

However, recently I have been able to run the Slax and the Dyne:bolic live CDs with absolutely no problem - no cheat codes.

I prefer to run the knoppix versions, which I do readily on my Sony notebook. Does anyone know of a reason why I'm having so much difficulty with the Dell Dimension 4550.

Thanks
