Toshiba Satellite won't boot Knoppix (not even failsafe...)

[Dave_Bechtel]

--In one case, I have gotten Mepis to work where an older version of Knoppix refused to boot: (this was on my parents new HP 2.5GHz)

--In that case, the cheatcodes " failsafe 2 " worked...

--And altho I ordered the CD, I haven't tried it myself yet; but you could always try Ubuntu live-cd.
