Anyone out there familier with knoppix? I''m having a little problem-- I''m trying to boot it off of a CD. When It gives me the "boot:" thing, I just press enter and it seems to boot fine. It then tells me someting like "kernel panic- init not found. try passing the init= option to the kernel" So, I tried this when I rebooted the machine; Boot: vmlinuz init=/etc/init Kernel panic error... etc... Then, I do: Boot: knoppix init=etc/init kernel panic wtf.. screw this... How sould I boot knoppix? thanks

Ok, so I think I got past that error, but then it asks me what runlevel to go into.. I type 1 (because I don''t know wtf else to put there) and it gives me a segmentation error :-\

If you get to a run level you want to enter either 3 or 5. Entering 3 will get you to a command line, entering 5 will bring up the gui.

Tried 5, got a segmentation violation error. I'll try 3
EDIT: same error when I try 3

5 is what you want, go to justlinux.com (too lazy to make a clicky ._.) and go to the forums and well, post your problem. Lots of people would be glad to help you, and they know what they''re doing.

Read the manual (or press F2 at the boot promp).

Type:

knoppix lang=us

hehe I found the problem. A stick of ram died on me so I only had 15 megs of ram left! I jacked a new stick from my dads computer, stuck it in mine, and knoppix booted just fine
