i dunno from cool but Knoppix will boot in 32 bit kernel if
that is one of the problems you are facing. What media can you use
to install the Linux distibution?
Knoppix has CDs and DVD and usually these can be written to
USB flash drives. Bur read up on it before you start as things seem to
have changed. Knoppix was one of the first distributions I tried out when
I was getting into Linux.
Get the knoppix-cheatcodes.txt.
And if you are in the USA then use <http://mirrors.sonic.net/knoppix/>
There are directories for DVD and CD.
Don't forget to download a checksum though Knoppix has an on iso
file
check run when booting up.
Good luck.
