    I downloaded Knoppix onto a CD and used it for the first time...

    Well, I booted it, and it didn't work

    I learned I needed to type

    knoppix nodma

    It worked but then the screen blanked out and couldnt find a signal

    I then learned to type

    knoppix screen=1280x1024 nodma

    It got far but then the weirdest thing happened: The screen turned gray with like 5 lines going down with black lines moving in it.

    I figured it was loading so I let it be. 20 minutes later - still there...

    How can I get Knoppix to work?

    I think this can also happen on a Mac so how would you fix it either way?
