Press return to see video modes available………………….: ‘Hit Enter key’
Enter mode number or ‘scan’: ‘Hit Enter key’

Scsi modules available
Ide-cd.o ide-scsi.o
Initio.o ppa

Load scsi modules
[Enter full filenames, Return for auto probe……………….>: ‘Hit Enter key’
Do u want to load additional modules from floppy disk: ‘Hit N key’

"sorry can't find knoppix file system" ( dsl is introduce in my cd player)
"droppin, you to a very limited shell"
"press reset better to quit"

Hi Cskahn

I had this problem once but I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it

You may have to reinstall

How did you install DSL onto your Pendrive?

@usul
1) Installed boot-0.8.0.img on pendrive using winimage.
2) copied the files in dsl-0.9.0.1.iso (extracted with winrar) on pendrive.
3) Booted the system

you can solve this problem if you use isobuster to open the .iso-file. then you must extract in the left menu the whole knoppix-folder, not only its sub-folders and -data. otherwise you can create a "Knoppix"-folder and put all the extracted files (e.g. "Knoppix", "Lost+found", "boot" and the "index.html") into it.

bye
