Hi there, I have downloaded Knoppix DVDv7.0.1 and used it to boot my laptop. I have run the rkhunter command and it shows lots of warnings and possible rootkits. Is this normal for a liveDVD or is something else? I am new to knoppix.
This is a summary of the output System checks summary

Thank you Werner for the link. I see that rkhunter is more than a simple scanner. The warnings were about mismatched checksums for some files and applications, but the checksum for Knoppix iso was ok. That was a bit of a puzzle for me. I have lots to learn, now that I have made the switch from "point, click and don't need to know" OS to Linux.
