I ran a testcd and it turned up multiple "file not found" errors...even though the files are right there. (huh?) It came up OK on the KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file. Dmesg doesn't return anything which looks like it could be cause for slowdown. I'm going to experiment with a swap file and see if this helps me.
This has come up a number of times on the forum[1]. The most common cause is that the CD has been burned to fast. Assuming the ISO you've downloaded checks out OK, burn a new CD at a slow burn speed, preferably < 8 x.
Good luck and be sure to let us know how things go. [1] http://www.knoppix.net/forum/ Regards, - Robert http://www.cwelug.org
