[kornface13]

Hi guys,
i am new to all this stuff in fact its the first time to use linux OS. i made a knoppix live cd and it was successfull...buuut.....when i started to boot with cd it seemed to go well but after displaying the knoppix logo when it starts to load a lot of things in the black screen it gives me a hell of errors eroors errors it didn't succeed in making anything......what am i to do????
a little help is appreciated.......thnx a lot.

This is my exact same problem. Gives me tons of errors, and locks up at the Network Interface Part. Any help would be great.

Every time I boot Knoppix after the first boot screen my montor goes blank says "out of range." Its ok, let it sit for ten min. and you will see a Knoppix startup screen. It will work fine

I am also new in the linux world. Just installed knoppix 3.3 on an old DELLl notebook APM bios 1.2/ mem 618652 kb and ram 45856 K , 20 MB. PENTIUM ii ; 363 mHZ AND 256 kB. [[thats what it gave back at installation]. I got the warning that is was too small for KDE and i had to use TWM windows mgr. However, knoppix logo screen was what i got as well as a message [that i need at least 82 kb to start kde] Another box appeared [shell] showing knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$. When i put the cursor on the logo screen AND kept pressing the left mouseclick, i can see a menu, but there is no way to get any further... What to do...?
