I have a 64Mb, Celeron 400 Hi-Grade laptop. DSL freezes after autoconfiguring devices...if I go into Expert mode, text disappears off the bottom of the screen.

I *know* this distro works, it does brill on my desktop. WOuld love to get it going on the laptop too. Any suggestions welcome!

Perhaps try "knoppix noauto" or "knoppix noapm"?

No go with either of those I'm afraid. Failsafe also stops after autoconfiguring I discovered.

noscsi got me nowhere either.

A thought of mine: just after it autoconfigures, it seems to call up the floppy drive. Is it expecting a disk? Should I try putting one in, or disabling the floppy drive with a cheat code?
