I'm not familiar with Knoppix and it's been years since I've done much on a debian based system so I'm not much use here. I'd assume that their Linux boot would be a 2.2 kernel or a failsafe mode. 2.4 kernel is the most likely to boot since 2.6 is the latest and Debian hasn't released a stable 2.6 version yet.

Can I ask why you are loading a minimalist distro to hard drive?

Sure, I've used MS for years wanted to try something different.I really only use a computer for two things, games and the internet.Knoppix has two internet browsers and a bunch of other stuff that I don't need.If I can successfully get it to boot from my hard drive I can do my surfing from the relative security of linux/mozilla and play my games in the OS they were designed for.
