I am trying to use Knoppix from the CD on my Windows XP Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop. I set up the BIOS so that the computer will boot from the CD. Everything seemed to be working fine. I restarted the computer with Knoppix in the CD drive, and I successfully got the boot screen when the computer started up. However, when I try to boot, the computer just stops. The screen goes blank and Knoppix will not load. No matter what options I try to boot with, this always happens. The same CD works perfectly on my desktop. Does anyone know what I could do to make Knoppix work on the laptop?
problem with Knoppix on a Windows laptop
does it do anything like do you get to a screen that says
with like a knoppix logo above it
if so you might wanna try using frame buffer mode (fb800x600) or (fb1024x768)
which sets the resolution manually...

or you could try another live cd such as ubuntu/kubuntu ( good for beginners )
