I have downloaded KNOPPIX and ran it on my friend's PC. I must say that it is a VERY nice program. Unfortunatly I cannot run the program on my PC. I have tried to boot it just by pressing enter in at the boot menu. It says that it loads 2 files and then the screen goes blank. However if I boot with phlak vga=normal I pass the screen that boots the 2 files and I get a screen that says "Unpacking Linux... OK, Openning Karnel." and that's where it hangs. I have tried a lot of different command combinations but they don't work (including screen=XxX). Can someone PLEASE help me. Thank You.
