Well the new knoppix must be awfully awfully picky about cdroms then
because I have had many different ones including dvd-roms, etc., and I
think I only had 1 successful boot with the 5 series. If you manage to
pinpoint what it is, lemme know. The reason I wanted to use the new 5
series is because it has lvm now. Thanks
