okay, i downloaded an iso of knoppix 3.3.
i burned the cd and tried to install it on a "spare parts" computer i've got laying around. the hard drive has no OS on it.
anyway, it starts going through a configuration to detect the sound and video card, etc. but then it says "starting X11" and then the screen goes blank. the cd drive and hard drive are still spinning, so i think something's going on, but the monitor just blanks out.
i even tried the "failsafe" install.... same thing.
is it a hardware compatibility issue? it's an older monitor and older video card.
AMD Athlon 700MHz
256MB RAM
Riva128 vid
any help is appreciated. thanks!
