Trying to get a pre-built Knoppix environment to boot...
Hi everyone,
An academic has given me a copy of a KNOPPIX with a program built into it. See the imgur link below for the file structure I have been given.
The files were given to me in a zipped folder, with the only instruction being to 'burn the files within this zip folder to a CD'.
Is there a specific process I have to follow to get the files I've been given into a bootable state? Everything I have tried has not worked: simply burning the files using any CD burning software does not result in a bootable CD. The guides I have found for burning a bootable KNOPPIX CD also don't appear to be applicable to my situation since I'm not creating a brand new KNOPPIX environment - I'm trying to get a pre-existing and modified environment to boot.
I've been assured that these files have resulted in a bootable and functional KNOPPIX system in the past.

Thank you so much for reading! I really need all the help I can get :(
NOT "BURNING". Why not and How eventually
[QUOTE=Harry Kuhman;133498]Knoppix is normally released as a ISO file that MUST be burnt "AS AN IMAGE"
Mr Kuhman
Now that "usb devices" are very common, do you know why
it is not possible
to get from official sites a single file especially dedicated for direct
INSTAALATION on them and so avoiding "BURNING" matters.
My question is probably too naïve...but it may be a suggestion.
Thanks you eventually for your response.
