Running win95 I suspect the machine is quite old.  What processor is it
using.  I ask because a while ago I tried Knoppix on and old Evesham
machine which was using an old non-intel chip (IDT Winchip C6 200 MHz
processor).  It partial booted but locked.  There may be a way around
the problem but it wasn't that important at the time so I just gave up.
