Hadn't tried just fb800x600 before. > "fb800x600" is just a shorthand for "linux ramdisk_size=100000 init=/ etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=788 xmodule=fbdev initrd=minirt.gz nomce quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix", with the general form being "label option option ..." Have a look in /cdrom/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg to see all the different kernel stanzas for Knoppix. Can you try these four boot commands and let us know which ones do and which ones do not have lines on the screen: boot: knoppix boot: knoppix xmodule=fbdev boot: fb800x600 boot: fb1024x768 BTW, if you can try to download a copy of Knoppix 4.0.2. It has some very nice features that 3.1 does not. Not to mention 3.1 is quite a bit out of date. Regards, - Robert http://www.cwelug.org/downloads Help others get OpenSource software.
