What error message? Or happens nothing?
1 If I boot while starting up : no error message.
2 If I try to boot with qemu : error message : Boot failed: Could not read from CD ROM (code 0003)
Where did you download it from?
I downloaded KNOPPIX from knopper.net
and again:
~$ md5sum -c /media/sr0 KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso
First response: md5sum: /media/sr0: read error
After a while : md5sum: KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found.
How did you burn the DVD? Any error message by this action?
I burned it with Free Easy Burner. No error messages. If you know a good (free) burner let me know.
Thank you,
hansieb

Oh, no!
Change to the download directory, where your KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso download is and the download of the KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso.md5 file. After this use
Code:
md5sum -c KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso.md5
-
Code:
md5sum -c KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso.md5
KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 computed checksum did NOT match
Remarks: 1 I could not copy the DVD-download (Error message) so: 2 This time I downloaded the .iso and .iso.md5 via Iceweasel (The knoppix browser)

Reason: Little reformat by mod

Perhaps you'll wait for the V7.4.1 and after this try a new download using the Torrents.

Werner, I want still to work a bit on it to learn linux better. run:
Code:
mv KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso KNOPPIX.iso
mv KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso.md5 KNOPPIX.iso.md5
dir KNOPPIX.iso KNOPPIX.iso.md5
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ md5sum -c KNOPPIX.iso.md5
The response:
Code:
md5sum: KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso: No such file or directory
KNOPPIX_V7.4.0DVD-2014-08-01-EN.iso: FAILED open or read
md5sum: WARNING: 1 listed file could not be read
It responses with the previous file names. Doesn't it recognise the new file names?

If you like to download slower and risk download problems, that's your choice.

If you can say "downloading from the mirrors is good enough for me and works fine, I don't care" then I don't care either. But if you are questioning the quality of your download and/or can't for any reason do the md5 checksum test, then you're really doing everyone a disservice by asking for help if you will not help yourself.

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.

No, you cannot rename the files and after it do the md5sum test. Look within the .iso.md5-file and you'll see the name of the file whom the value of the md5sum-test belongs.
And please format your postings:
Use double "new line" for new section.
You can use the "Go Advanced" button to have more abilities to format the posting; before sending your posting use "Preview" to see how it looks like.
If "noscript" (within Iceweasel/Firefox) is active for http://knoppix.net/forum/ disable it for this website; otherwise you cannot use the format abilities. Do not use Chrome/Chromium!
Below the editor area is the "Additional Options" area. With "Attachments => Manage Attachments" you can upload images and after this insert them in your posting.

Hello Harry,
Thank you for your response.
I have already looked around a bit, but I can't find out how to set up a (free) BitTorrent client for Linux or Knoppix. Maybe you know how to proceed?
Thank you.

I've always used a torrent client in Windows. But I'm sure that I've seen that there is already a torrent client installed in Knoppix. It isn't an option for me since I don't have a hard drive on my Knoppix laptop, so I would have no place to store the downloaded files. So I'll leave someone else to respond with detals if you want to do this through Knoppix. Just wanted to give a quick acknowledgement of your post so that anyone else watching this discussion knew they were welcome to jump in.

I have downloaded the file a second time and renamed it. Also adapted the md5.
$ md5sum -c K2.iso.md5
After the check:
K2.iso: OK
Where can I find the format abilities in Knoppix? (Now I am using windows.) How can I find "noscript"?
