You don't, that is the big difference between the way facebook a

On the ubuntu cd's I think there is a menu option for adding extra parameters
Check the ubuntu wiki for common boot params, I think the usual ones are

Would it not be better to focus on why the Ubuntu CD didn't boot?

Hi,
I was looking ar a PC for a neighbour and tried to boot from a live CD to
backup some data for them. The Ubuntu and Xubuntu live CDs wont boot, but a
Knoppix DVD will boot and run just fine. How can I tell what if any boot
options the knoppix system booted with?
