CD fails to boot
I could be totally missing something obvious, but I've burned two cd's, and I can't get a computer to boot from either of them. I've changed the BIOS settings on each computer to boot from CD first, before floppy and HD. When I put a disk in the computer, I don't get Windows OR Knoppix, I just get a black screen with a white line in the top left corner (like a DOS command prompt, but just that one little underscore).
Anyway, if anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you boot windows from the HD like before and then load the CD and look at it's contents what do you see ?

Are you trying to boot from the CD ? Did you burn it yourself ? If so just do what I suggested in my previous post so we can find out if it has been burned the right way.

I get two BIN files, one is BOOTCAT, the other is BOOTIMG.

Huh ?
At least you don't have a CD with just one big *.iso file which seems to be a common mistake.
What you should see is:
- Demos KNOPPIX Talks autorun.bat autorun.inf cdrom.ico index.html
Of those Demos, KNOPPIX and Talks are directories (folders).
The KNOPPIX directory should contain this:
- KNOPPIX KNOPPIX-FAQ.txt images index_it.html knoppix-header.gif web-background.gif
KNOPPIX-FAQ-EN.txt LICENSE.txt index.html index_jp.html links.html
KNOPPIX-FAQ-ES.txt README_Security.txt index_dk.html index_nl.html md5sums
KNOPPIX-FAQ-FR.txt background.jpg index_en.html index_ru.html mkfloppy.bat
KNOPPIX-FAQ-IT.txt boot.cat index_es.html knoblind.bat rawrite2-readme.txt
KNOPPIX-FAQ-NL.txt boot.img index_fr.html knoppix-cheatcodes.txt rawrite2.exe
Have you checked the md5sum of the *.iso file before burning it ?

A .bin file is just another image file like .iso
I thought Knoppix comes as isos, but try burning the image to a cd and see what happens.
If you're using Nero close the wizards and choose File -> Burn Image
Then select the 700 Mb .bin file and burn it.

Umm, I think in this case those refer to the boot.cat and boot.img files in the KNOPPIX directory..

And some more sloppy reading by me

Yes I'm trying to boot fro the CD. I did burn it myself . Yes it has all the files in it. When I boot it will boot me up, give me the knoppix logo and ask for which boot options. (It gives me the command prompt boot
I tryied alot of differnt options but none seem to work.
I have downloaded PHLAK and I use fbdev module on that,
but on Knoppix it doesnt work.
