I have forgot the actual error, but when I try to load knoppix-std (I'm usre I would get the same problem for other distros) I get an error that says "cloop blah blah uncommpreesing block error at sector 32133" or something close I'll wirte it down if you need me to. The cd-drive that the cd is in is, a generic cd-rw. And the distro is burnt on a cd-rw (it it matters) I used Nero 5.9.9.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

I got Knoopix L.A.S. (Local Area Security) to work with no problems or cheatcodes.
But unfortunately F.I.R.E. (Forensics and Incident Response Environment) doesn't work. I just idles there maybe it has the same error it just doesn't show it? I don't know. i know I should ask the distros people but I'm thinking it's not actually there problem it more of a cd burn or just general knoppix not liking my system.

1. Check the md5sum of the iso
2. Re-burn to CDR and try again. Cloop errors are generally read-errors on the media.

Yeah I forgot to state that. But I have chacked all of my md5sums. and since you think it is now a read error. Do you think that maybe the brand of cd-rw i'm using is not a good brand for burning isos or something.. oh yeah.. it is memorex and I have had horrific troubles before.. damn now I need to find a different brand cd-rw. thanks though. Bye

--Yep, that's confirmed. I too have Memorex 700MB "high-speed" CDRW and they're absolute *garbage.* They crap out after less than 10 rewrites, even if there are no scratches.

ah, well much thanks to you. Thankfully these are not my cd-rw my freind gave them to me to burn him some pornVCDs lol.. I think all memorex stuff is crap, everytime I have tried to burn using memorex in my HP cd16 cd-rw drive the disc has errored.. well there was the ocassional good disc but still losing just one cd-r is horrible.

What cd-rw brand would you recommend? I wanna use cd-rws for my live cds so when they get updates I can just update the disc instead of using another cd-r.

Cheers.

--Well, there's ONE bit of info I didn't need to know. :roll: Honestly I have no idea which CDRW brands are good, maybe somebody else can jump in here.

--To mount the floppy drive from shell:
' sudo mkdir /mnt/floppy ' == JustInCase
' mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy -orw '

--Access /mnt/floppy from $your-favorite-software.

oh sorry, I didn't mean to type thing it just came out. I really don't understand the mounting a floppy part..

' sudo mkdir /mnt/floppy ' == JustInCase <--- JustInCase?
' mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy -orw '

--Access /mnt/floppy from $your-favorite-software <--- and this entire line.

I'm a super newb to linux.

:shock:

o JustInCase that directory doesn't exist, it will be created (because it needs to be there regardless)

(Make sure you type in those commands *without* the single quotes, and only type the part that's quoted) :?

o Your files will be accessible AT the " /mnt/floppy " directory from YOUR FAVORITE SOFTWARE

--Think about it a little, I don't think I'm *that* obscure... :cry:

alright I think I got it..thanks hm, well another question.. how could I make it auto do this everytime. I heard you can save configurations on a floppy but to use the floppy I have you mount it. is there a way I can get it to load the floppymount configurations from floppy and all my other configurations? Sorry, that I'm becoming a nusience
