Hi,

I've recently downloaded Knoppix Ver 3.3 24/09/2003 and successfully checked the file with against it's corresponding md5 file. I've then burnt the image to CD using Easy CD creator but I can't seem to get any Pc to boot from it all I get is what looks to me like a dos screen with a blinking cursor in the top left corner. Could somebody tell me if I'm doing something wrong here, I'm new to linux but I do have a little experience of other unix systems. Also, I can see two files on the CD when I browse it on a windows system they are:

bootcat.bin - 2kb
bootimg.bin - 716,626kb

Any help would be much appreciated - or should I just buy the CD?

Steven

It was because of the way I was openeing it in Easy CD creator, it's sorted now, if anybody is interested, I recommend double clicking on the ISO file from windows explorer and letting easy cd do all of the configuring for itself!

Thanks
