Hi. I'm totally new to Knoppix. I downloaded and burned the Knoppix iso file to a cd. When it boots, it brings me to a dos prompt [Dr-Dos) a:\, but will go no further and doesn't accept any commands other than wwumb which is written in German. What did I do wrong / need to do from here. Thanks.

Sounds like the CD was not burned properly. You have to burn it as an iso image, not as a data CD. See the FAQ: http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqDownloading

Thanks "CrashedAgain" That did the trick!
I should have picked up on that, having already read the FAQ, but, like I said, I'm totally new to all of this. Thanks Again!
