I can now answer my last post and the others of this type, I think. We should all check the size of our ISO images.
The mirror sites claim the size of the two offered ISOs are nearly 700MB. Mine were only about 40MB. It's amazing I was able to boot to anything at all. I guess the first things to download are all the small files. The last is the one big Knoppix file. So I got all the files that made the CD bootable, but when trying to create the virtual drive(s) and expand the KNOPPIX file it would error-out.
Strange also that a 40MB ISO will calim to have written all the files and even reports the KNOPPIX file on CD as 686MB. So it knows how big it's supposed to be and is faking-out Explorer, but there's no way even a highly compacted ISO will expand from 40MB to the full 693MB CD.
Too bad that FTP downloads can finish without error and give partial files. I would rather that a partial file would not show up in Explorer at all.
But the Internet isn't working anymore for me. This week, the Internet either won't display web pages or the pages stop responding. FTP usually hangs without downloading a single MB. I guess I was lucky to have gotten 40MB last week. I've tried 4 Win2000 and 1 WinXP PC. Is this a Windows thing or is the Internet really that screwed up?

Under Window, get yourself a copy of Opera which has download resume feature(the only major browser that has it). For purist(Opera is adware, not exactly free in the GNU sense), use the command line utility 'wget', there is a win32 port. wget also can resume partial download.
After the download is done, run md5sum(again there is win32 port).

I will give that a try. Thanks.
Right now, however, I can't get any high-speed access. The Internet is partially functional. FTP doesn't work at all. My 56K modem at home is faster than my T1 connection at work.
I've tried HTTP (translates to ftp server), Explorer ftp, and DOS FTP. None of them will bring any data in anymore.
Maybe our security and all over the Internet the security and viruses ahve everything locked-down.
Anyone else having this problem?
Or is our FTP ability screwed up at the company level?
