Faster Knoppix?

[rickenbacherus]

Hey..

ive just got knoppix working on a 233 mhz pc... but now i see that it runs terribly slow (at initializing the KDE.. i keep getting a greyish screen with a Cross as the mouse pointer for about 5 mins.. then it finalyshows it how it should..)

system specs:
233 mhz
8x cdrom speed (its probably that, eh?)
96 mb ram
2 harddrives (one 1.99 gb, one 1 gb (which i need to format cause i cant access it.... NTFS.. ))

You are at the bare minimum requirements for booting into KDE w/ only 96M RAM. It's no suprise that it's slow. I run knoppix from hdd on a 233 w/ 160M- it's pretty nice.

Is there maybe a option to run a faster graphical interface?
if so: how/where etc?

thanks!

Yep there sure is- check out the cheat codes. (they can also be found by hitting F2 as soon as you get to the boot screen. Perhaps try Fluxbox or Ice
