I've downloaded the lastest knoppix version and burned it onto a DVD, it was just a little over 700MB (2 big for a CD). I can't seem to get my system to boot up with it. I tapped F12 when loading up and selected boot from USB / CD. The dvd wasn't recognised.

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Probobly something simple like not burning the dvd correctly or I don't know the right way to boot it up.

thanks,
Andy

Well, you're pretty much doing everything wrong; the iso is smalll enough to fit on a CD, my best guess is that you don't know how to read a file size (1 k = 1024 bytes) , you didn't check the md5 checksum, and you didn't follow the other instructions in the FAQ. See answer #1 (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/User:Harry_Kuhman).
