[Cialug] recreating my linux boot

[David Champion]

You should be able to boot from CD1 or CD2, hit the key (F1?) for "more 
boot options" and type "rescue" at the prompt if you need to redo your 
lilo or something like that.

For your video card, is Knoppix loading a specific driver, or using 
Framebuffer? I'd guess its Framebuffer, and you can tell Mandrake to use 
that driver as well.

p.s. SIS is Chinese for "Piece of Junk".
