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.
