It looks like installing Knoppix on a Compaq Server was a bad idea.  After
getting the files transferred to the hard drive, it wouldn't write to the
MBR.  I finally fixed that by running /sbin/lilo -M /dev/ida/c0d0.  When it
booted, I got a kernel panic.

I think to get Knoppix working on this hardware is going to take me more
time than I want to spend on it.  I only used Knoppix for it's convenience,
but it is not convenient if it takes this long to get it to work :-)

Knoppix is more of a desktop distro and that is how it should probably be
used.

Thanks once again to everyone who helped out.  I'm sorry your efforts were
wasted this time.

RedHat runs fine on this hardware without any tweaking.  I might give Fedora
a go.
