i get all this before it loads my hardware this i get the logo sound then a cursore and black screen the hole cd is 693mb and my c drive is ntfs i hope someone can help if any other info is needed ask

[psychopuppy]

hmm looks like the image was corrupted or something happened while burning. anyways your cd is screwed.

[Tank]

but i got two copies from 2 sites?

[hacnslash]

and it happened with both?!
then it prolly has some problems with your hardware.

ok, maybe the burner fucked both the cd's. try burning the iso on another computer and then try.

[bland_inquisitor]

OK, first off, anything im going to ask here is NOT to insult or flame you, i take knoppix's inability to help you as a personal matter But since i dont know you, im going to have to get all the info i can to help you out.

I have a dell inspiron 8200 that i installed knoppix on, and it worked great (after i got the version with the fixed install script.) This same laptop however, H-A-T-E-D mandrake. It was wierd. It took all the time to install, and it seemed to be installing, but on the first boot, it would tell me that some of the key packages didnt get installed properly, actually it was all of them. I have come to realize that it was a problem with the DVD/CDROM combo. Mandrake 8.2 just didnt jive with my hardware *shrug* But i have honestly never seen Knoppix reject any reasonably modern hardware. So the problem may be with the ISOs, but you seem to have tried 2 unrelated sites, and are having the same problem...

So, riddle me these:

1. how many programs have you burned via ISO?
2. Were there any problems?
3. What prog did you use to burn?
4. Under what OS?
5. Are you trying for an HDD install, or just want to use it as a live distro?
6. What is the make and model of the burner?
7. What is the make and model of the CDROM drive on your lappy?

[Tank]

not many, but never had a problem
easy cd creator
windows 2000 pro

you don't need no stinking guide!!!
just throw it in nero and burn... unless you have an earlier ver of nero where it will only burn *.nrg

[hacnslash]

easy cd creator is a bitch, dont use it, use nero, at least if you want to use it download it and dont give them any money. it sucks!!

My first computer was a Commodore 128, sometime in the '80s. And you want the June 6, 2003 version of KNOPPIX 3.2.
