That's great news. By default 3.7 used the 2.4 kernel. IIRC, you can specify the 2.6 kernel with "knoppix26" So, to bring up Knoppix 3.7 using the 2.6 kernel and the fbdev driver at 800x600, try this: boot: knoppix26 xmodule=fbdev vga=788 Let us know if that works for you. Also, I'll bring a copy of the 4.0.2 CD to the next meeting. > Tried my ubuntu, and the disk vibrates awful, but I risked startup by > damping the cd drive, and found I couldn't get the screen to > 800x600.

Tony Maybe some of the Ubuntu folks here might have a hint of what's happening. Again, bring your laptop to the next CWE-LUG meeting and we'll play around with Knoppix and Ubuntu live.
