Knoppix live cd message Unable to find files
Booting Knoppix 5.1.1 live cd., gives message "Can't find Knoppix filesystems config, sorry." "Dropping you to a very limited shell."
Which takes me to a Knoppix prompt "Knoppix # _ " What am I supposed to enter? How can I make live Knoppix work? |
When used as a liveCD, you may save any and all preferences you set on applications you use by writing them to a file on floppy/cd/harddrive. The file must be in place the next time you boot the liveCD in order to be able to use them.
Apparently, Knoppix is looking for such a file, and, not finding it, is telling you so, and waiting for a response from you. If you have access to the web, google up a copy of the Knoppix cheatsheet, which will tell you what you may enter at the boot prompt to get the liveCD to boot to a running session of Knoppix. My prefered Knoppix boot prompt may be of help to you. Just type this in at the prompt: knoppix lang=us keyboard=us xkeyboard=us wheelmouse desktop=kde screen=1280x1084 dma splash Of course, if your language and keyboard are not US English, or your prefered desktop is not KDE, make the appropriate substitution. |
Have you used this liveCD before successfully?

CD Corrupted
I got this exact message when I downloaded the iso image, burned a CD from it, but had not used a product like bittorrent.
