Before I install Vista Ultimate on my newly upgraded gaming rig, Area51, I want to run Knoppix to see what kind of hardware I have. I tried booting with Knoppix 5.0 and 5.1 (DVD), and right now it’s just not worth it. The 5.1 DVD loads intermittently, and the 5.0 CD doesn’t I’m going to install Vista by booting from the DVD.
In the meantime, I’ll just download the 5.1 CD via BitTorrent to see if I can get that to work with any consistency.

I burned the Knoppix 5.1 CD on gforce and it boots up Area51 more reliably than the Knoppix 5.1 DVD. I can boot into 1440x900 (not sure about 32-bit color, though) but it doesn’t matter because the NIC drivers don’t seem to load, since the hub doesn’t light up for Area51’s connection.
Boot to Vista -- Knoppix is officially a bust. I’ve had the worst luck trying to get Linux to run on this box.
