Okay, I downloaded the feather ISO, then verified and burned it with k3b. The image boots fine on my "testing" machine, currently running Slackware, but will be entriely bypassed by my primary SUSE machin. I always have CD boot first. To verify. I booted DSL 3.0 with no problems. Any idea why this is happening? (I probably need to give more information... But I do not know what.)

Strange but my experience had been quite good when trying to boot it on 8 different motherboards:

Asus P5P800 Dual-core 2.6 GHz (Integrated graphics/sound)
Asus P4P800-mx running P4 2.8 GHz (Integrated graphics/sound)
PCChip M538 Pentium 100 MHz
Acer AX6LC Pentium II 333 MHz
MSI K7T Duron 700MHz (Via Chipset)
Shuttle MV17 Celeron (Int graphics/sound)
Acer P5A-B Pentium 233 MMX
HP Pavillion 6635


In every case I managed to get the the sound and graphics running and access a Sandisk MP3 player via XMMS. It rocks as I'm using it right now (Firefox) configured to run out of memory

I would suggest to try setting your BIOS to the safe defaults and try to reboot again.

I got feather to load on my laptop - a pentium mmx with only a 166mhz processor and 92mb of ram! It works great from the live cd. But does anyone know how to login? Now that I installed it to my hd, I would really like to use it. I get the box login prompt and cannot figure out what to type in there to get to the desktop!

Anyhow, it ran beautifully fast on this old laptop and has made it a useful computer despite is age.

I'm not sure about the password but I think you can type either "knoppix" or "root" at the userid prompt and log in without needing to type in the password. You should set the password for both at some point.
