Knoppix is the real thingy. It is Debian with KDE 3. If you d/l from the _www.knopper.net/knoppix site with the latest update version, you may get support for your video card. So far I have had it run several ATI cards, and GForce as well. Even works with my wireless NIC in my Sony laptop. Impressive. If you cannot get X to work on your system, there are plenty of bootup options - try using a Framebuffer video driver. Great stuff to pack 1.7gB onto a compressed filesystem to run off of. Been using since late last year, and still impressed.
Think of it - a Web/FTP server running off a CD that cannot be hacked!

Hey guess what VIPER_1069:)

Me finally found the mag in a shop i had forgottin even exsisted:p

Went in2 the bios & changed it 2 boot from CD Rom &.... nothing.It just would'nt boot??I know it can cause me have boot from Win98 & XP CD's in the past.

Tried it both in my burner(LiteOn 52246S & older CD Rom drive??? still nothing, even tried inserting disc just b4 the boot from CD Rom prompt appears

Really fancy tryin this version of Linux/Unix out.Browsed the Cd contents & found make bootdisk file, but no readme on what 2 do with it?

Any Ideas Bud

a guess here is to use the boot disk as you would a win 98 startup disk :)

perhaps backup the disk and try the backup !? maby you just got a dodgy cd !? sometimes this happens !? i often get magazine disks that simply refuse to load at all in my dvd drive but boot fine in my burner ?!? :)
