So it boot it normally, and even showed me the command prompt, but when it was time for the GUI to come up ( at least I think so) It gave a message that goes: ATTENTION: 90k /60hz Frequency is out of range My initial reaction is that it has some to do with resolution or refresh rate and may be I could be wrong. So anyone that can help with that problem I would appreciate it tremendously! My computer: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.26GHz memory is about 768 MB P.S: a little step by step help will be very welcome since I am a newbie w/ Linux!!!!! Thanks in advance

It is possible that knoppix is failing to probe monitor/gfx card properly. Have you tried any other live distro? __________________ Microsoft isn't bad its just stupid.

Pass xvrefresh=60 or vsync=60 option to kernel at startup. Check more cheats codes here. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First
