I already have tried the regular live cd option for Ubuntu and it did not work on my laptop because my laptop apparently does not have enough RAM to run it. I think the RAM is like 256. I’m going to be trying edubuntu and kubuntu next.

I need help with knoppix linux.?
I just downloaded a knoppix live cd, and I can boot onto it without a hitch, But the only interface I can access is a screen with a www. option, an email option, etc. I know knoppix usually comes with a desktop and a toolbar and everything, Is their a command I can Use to access it like with backtrack? Also, Is it possible to access my wpa encrypted network from knoppix? Thanks.

How do I exactly install Fedora Linux onto another partition?
I’ve been trying to get Fedora Linux onto my Vista laptop where I can dual boot and I can’t seem to get it. I made a partition already that is 50GB and booted up into Linux with a Live CD. I went to the desktop and opened the install to HD option and got up to the part where you chose how to install it onto there, etc. I would like to dual boot and use that 50GB as a Linux OS. How do I do this?

Ubuntu installer, pressing enter does nothing?
I have a Ubuntu live cd and I have installed it successfully on 2 computers, yet it won’t install on this one. When I get to the cd boot menu I have “try without installing”, “install” etc. Clicking enter on any option causes the cd to whirr for a second and the harddrive to light up momentarily. Then…nothing. I can move up and down the menu again and enter still does nothing. I have puppy linux running on this (from a cd) fine. Any tips?
Thanks David, I would do that except this laptop refuses to boot from usb ;/ Many attempts have failed.
How to restore F3 boot option from Symantec Ghost?
I have MSI Megabook S270 running on Windows XP (OEM). I recently installed Windows 7 Release Candidate on drive D (Windows XP is on drive C). It turns out that I don’t like Seven. Now I want to restore everything, but it seems the F3 options from Symantec Ghost (right after BIOS-boot) doesn’t come out. I already checked the partition with Active Partition Manager that the recovery partition (drive 1) is still there. And I also checked with Puppy Linux OS Live (running on CD) that the partition is accessible. I don’t know whether the recovery data is incomplete or not.
I don’t have a recovery CD/DVD, the notebook came to me only with DC adapter, nothing else.
My question is: how to restore the F3 option. I want to restore Windows XP to the original manufacturer setting.
Thank you so much…
