You're going to have to boot off the CD to do the test. Once you do that, Knoppix will try to boot into its graphical environment anyway. There's no way to use a shell from it without booting. You could suppress the graphical environment, but why? -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabootu's Minister of Proofreading http://www.jabootu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
