New to Linux. Using Knoppix on a live cd

[david]

I'm having a problem getting the keyboard to work. I don't even know where to even start on getting it to work. Any help here?

[david]

If I recall correctly, Knoppix had a "german/us" flag in the taskbar panel to toggle between keyboard layouts. Might have been part of the problem?

If you are new to linux, knoppix may not be the best place to start, maybe Ubuntu would be a better choice if you want to spend an other CD.

Tried it, Error loading boot disc. So I tried knoppix

Did you checksum it before burning? Can you not even get to the media test from the first menu at boot (where you choose to boot it live, install, etc)? Anyway, if your keyboard is a standard 108-key it should work no problem. Not sure what could've been going wrong.
