My knoppix live cd...says It doesnt have a suitable xserver for my pc.

I just upgraded to 512 mb of ram. :wink:

Will it make any problem if memory is increased/decreased :?::?:

I ran another live distro , it has a xserver for my pc...but it cant be
installed in hd .. :cry:

Can anybody help :?:

xsrever means your display has to be configured.There are many live cds.Try mepis or ubuntu live cd

Get the latest version of knoppix also please tell us your mobo / graphics card. Genrally knoppix has a very good hardware support record and does work with almost all new hardware. Any way lets see what you post.

It could be due to a fault CD, try using a fresh cd and see.

Although unlikely, it could be a problem with the RAM, as it will try and create the root partition on the RAM itself. Try booting with the "knoppix mem=512M" option, it just may work.

BTW, you mentioned a problem with XServer earlier, was a different error coming up then? If so it seems to indicate a faulty cd.

Faulty CD was already suggested by gnurag and i already tried in a new cd rw ..then only i get
kernel panic error.
Previously i got Init:"X" respawning too fast and cloop errors(thats when gnurag suggested me abt the cd)

I think it could still be the CD, or your CD drive, anyway did you try the mem=512M option? Just possible that knoppix didnt detect the RAM correctly.
