Hi all!First at all let me tell you thanks for this great resource, hope you can help me to fix this problem: I have a libretto 100ct with "real" DOS on it, Iīve downloaded the iso image and burn the cd, obviously the live cd does not boot because the bios laptop do not have this feature. I have created a boot floppy. Copy the KNOPPIX file on the HD Reboot the machine. DSL starts from the floppy, the boot promt appears, then click "enter" and seems starts to boot but I only can get an error saying that canīt find the KNOPPIX file or somethig similar :-( Here is the question, can I boot DSL directly from the HD? and how? Anyway all comments are welcomed, I really want to start my Linux experience with this fantastic distro. Jose Posted by Guest on June 09 2005,16:04
You should have copied the folder Knoppix with the file Knoppix in it. The detection stage looks for the file /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX and not /KNOPPIX, so this is why the file on your HD was not detected.

Also, make sure that you use lowercase letters. IE, copy to:C:\knoppix\knoppix Posted by friedgold on June 09 2005,17:16
Are you sure about that? I use all uppercase /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX Posted by Guest on June 09 2005,22:50
With DOS, any case should do. But be careful when you use the DOS mode in Windows 9x. All lowercase and all uppercase always gets treated as all uppercase, but a mixture of case will activate the long-filename capability and the name gets treated as it is.

Many thanks for your replys guys, finally I can boot DSL! but... now I have a new problem, I canīt use it because the monitor configuration is wrong and is impossible to read it. There is some way to fix this? I have downloaded the correct XFree86 configuration file and perhaps I can load DSL with the correct configuration but, how?Jose Posted by 78santo on June 11 2005,02:00
sorry, I forget to tell you, also Iīve downloaded the driver but obviously I canīt load it :-(Jose |
