Well, I just got my new Via Epia M10000. Put everything together, and tried booting from the latest Knoppix CD. Nothing worked... cloop errors like crazy.

Pulled the CD, and let it boot from hd0, which had a previously hdinstall-ed DSL (0.5.2 I think), and it worked just dandy. Everything came up the first time, though I haven't tried audio, I think it won't work anyway.

Thanks again John for a groovy little distro

BTW have you tried the TV out on a proper TV? (I tried it on my tv card composite in and the picture was not that good.)

I have not yet tried it on a TV. Mostly working on getting sound to work right with (a modified) DSL. Gonna play with the kernel and X too before I do too much else.

It didn't want to play nice with my cd-rw/dvd-rom combodrive either. Sill have to figure that one out too. Just using a normal cdrw for now.

Once I get an OS I'm happy with, then I'll plug it into the TV (trying both RCA and S-Video)

Fair enough,

my slim-line CD-RW drive mounts and uses normal cds no problems, but I havent got it to write CDs or erase CDRWs. The bashburn script seems to pickup the write part of the drive, but I dont have any more clues. What are you using as you normal CD-RW and does it work under DSL?

Try using Gcombust instead of Bash Burn. It may give you more detailed error messages. The install script is located here:
