weird. mine all worked perfectly!

The first thing that comes up with knoppix-std is the penguin followed
by "error: only one processor found" then it goes through what looks
like the regular boot up but when it gets to starting x11, the screen
goes blank and then my monitor says no signal and then shuts off. The
MD5 checked out in k3b when I burned it. I'm going to try using the
torrent download and see if it finds a problem and fixes the original
iso.
Bob
are there cheatcodes you could try? usually you press F1 or F2 or F3.
scott
F2 gives a list of options and I tried a couple that looked like they might have an effect such as changing the resolution with no luck. I don't know what the frame buffer would do. I tried redowloading with bit torrent and it didn't find any problems as it first examined the iso that I already had. I always run into something funky with this machine. I had a usb stick that works everywhere else but would make it reboot when plugged in and another stick that works fine.
I suppose, considering I don't know anything about any of these tools in the first place, that I have plenty to learn from the distro's that do work but, it would be nice to check out the knoppix one too. Maybe I'll go through the cheat codes more when I get a chance.
Bob
Here are the cheatcodes for Knoppix 3.8.1:
http://download.linuxtag.org/knoppix/knoppix-cheatcodes.txt
A quick look through the FAQ suggests that Knoppix-STD uses the same cheatcodes:
http://www.knoppix-std.org/faq.html
So, to start you could boot into text mode using:
boot: knoppix 2
if that doesn't work, start playing with some of the other cheatcodes to narrow down where the error is. My usual route is to try these boot parameters in order:
knoppix 2
failsafe
knoppix init=/bin/bash
knoppix noapic noagp noapm noaudio noddc nopcmcia noscsi noswap nousb nousb2 pnpbios=off acpi=off vga=normal 2
I wish there was a shortcut for that last one, which is basically turn everything off. But alas, no. I thought that maybe "knoppix - b" might do it, but it doesn't.
Good luck and let us know what you discover.
