Boot from the Knoppix CD. For a 2004.3+ install, you will need to specify |
| 172 |
detection. Although, you may have to add some boot options. |

<c>knoppix26</c> as a boot option to load a 2.6 kernel. If you miss this step, |

| 184 |
way). If you do not do this, then you will receive errors when emerging about |
| 185 |
"/home/root: not found" or something to that effect. |
