Startup Options

Most modern computers do not need any special startup options. The prompt for options times out, and the bootstrap process continues.

However, if you have an older computer, you may want to consider typing in the following when you are prompted for options:

knoppix nodma

There are many options available. For more details, press F2 or F3 to get a more extended list of startup options.

Refer to figure 1 for a sample view of the boot-up screen.
