I managed to get knoppix installed and booting, but somewhere in the boot process it stops because it can't find a hd drive or something, don't remember the exact error message. Everything stops and I end up in a limited shell. I think I read somewhere that knoppix didn't support scsi disks - is that the problem? Anybody have an solution to this? plz...

It can be a bit tricky as far as I know. This link may help but I think it's a little old. __________________ Registered Linux user #378740 New members read here / Forum Rules #linuxforums on irc.freenode.net

You have to have a bios that is capable of usb boot, some arent.
