Hi thanks in advance for the help.... new to DSL and on the first attempt using the newest .iso boot I get to the boot {enter} resolution changes successfully ... then after it decompresses the kernel i get this message:

Mount Bad Address
/linuxrc: cannot create /proc/sys/kernel/printx : directory non existant
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01


any ideas?
I am running on a p3 933mhz 364mb ram

Which file did you download?  Did you confirm that it was downloaded properly by checking its md5sum?  From the error I'd say the file /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX is corrupted.
