Knoppix boot issues

I definitely wouldn't recommend Gentoo to a new Linux user. Best to get a more user friendly distro and use it for a while to get your bearings. Gentoo is known for its speed, but more for its ease of configuration (once you get a handle on how things work).

I also wouldn't wait for the FC6 release. New releases always have some kinks that need to be worked out so it's better to wait a couple months - unless you want to help fix the bugs, that is.

I don't use Suse unless it happens to be installed on a client's machine. It's not that I hate it, just that it doesn't do anything Fedora doesn't (that I've seen). As far as I've seen, Suse is indeed an excellent OS. However, I constantly put new Linux users - and new computer users - on Fedora desktops without issue. Of course, these are business users with no need to configure their own systems, play games or any of the other things you may want to do on a home system.

ive have similar problems .... i downloaded the iso image and it was only 302 mb when i converted it to a nero image it was 698 mb ... i burned the actual iso image and i also burned a nero bootable disk from the iso file that i converted to nero...they both give the same problem A:\>

i also tried burning it a couple of other ways but to no avail...
i installed linux suse already and burned 5 iso disk images
converted all to alchohol them burned them as bootable data disk (didn't try this one) so i can of know the process ....help
