| 237491 | 2004-06-03 07:00:00 | Just tried it on a Pentium 166 with 32MB of RAM and it goes well (didn't login to Windows Terminal Server though). As its based on Knoppix, I thought it might have taken one look at the processor and fell on the floor laughing :) | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 237492 | 2004-06-03 08:00:00 | I have just tried it and it runs fine on my machine, but its not the one i want to run it on. I have a Digital Celebris GL 5133 and it doesnt boot off the cdrom. Is there a way to copy the files to the hdd and run it from there becuse it won't boot off a linux boot disk. Dont know why and does anyone know where i can get a bios update for it? Cheers Daniel |

| 237493 | 2004-06-04 01:49:00 | I'm pretty sure that Knoppix includes a floppy image so you can boot from a floppy and run the software off the cd... yes it has it, just had a look. On the floppy is a file mkfloppy.bat in the KNOPPIX directory. Run that from a windows machine and then boot from the floppy which is created (with the cd in the drive of course) | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 237494 | 2004-06-04 04:38:00 | I have done that, When it loads the first screen where you press enter to boot it goes blank and then after about 5mins it goes a maroon colour and nothing else happens. And for some reason it will only boot off one boot disk all the others dont work. (and da boot disk is one that came with my old computer so its WIN98) | dwnz2003 (5250) | ||
| 237495 | 2004-06-04 05:03:00 | You've probably got hardware (maybe video) which the Knoppix doesn't work well with. ;-) There should be a response you can type to the "boot: " prompt which will tell it waht to do. Try a "?" or <Tab> to see if it gives you a list of options. There is almost certainly a README or similar file which you can read... |

| 237496 | 2004-06-04 23:57:00 | its got an original Matrox card with about 2mb ram. I have another card (Trio 64+) should i try that? | dwnz2003 (5250) | ||
| 237497 | 2004-06-05 02:51:00 | Certainly worth a try; Linux should recognise an S3 card. | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 237498 | 2004-06-05 02:54:00 | Alternatively tell it to use the VESA video driver. | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
