knoppix

[Mark Jarvis]

The venerable CD of my old favorite, knoppix, having died, I downloaded 
the 64 bit DVD ISO (I have a 64 bit system) & burned it to a DVD. I 
booted from the DVD and at the boot prompt typed the knoppx64 option. It 
started off just fine, then went to a totally blank screen. The last 
couple of lines before it went blank went by too fast to really notice. 
The md5sum of the downloaded ISO matches.

Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is, and more importantly, 
what to do about it?

Many thanks for any help!
