One Windows program we can all use

Greetings, Porteno.

I assume you have indeed installed the iso on a pendrive and have your
computer set to boot from a usb.

If that is so, my next move would be to see if the pendrive boots into linux.

If it boots into linux, I would then re-boot with the cheatcode 'knoppix testcd'.
That checks the main KNOPPIX file.

I would then try out the distribution and see if it seems to be working.
That is try some menu commands and work with the desktop a little.
See if you can get the wifi setup to get on-line, etc.

If at any point, I had any question about the integrity of the iso itself,
I would then use a working command line to do an md5sum test on the original iso.

You'd have to give us more information for us to know where you might be
in this general progression.

Thanks, Utu, for your reply. I've done all that, testcd says

All files OK

.
I want now to test the original .iso file for integrity. I have two elements, the .iso file and the content of
ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix-dvd/KNOPPIX_V7.0.4DVD-2012-08-20-EN.iso.md5

which is 1b70a9aaab03dad5cf1545dbc3146274 *KNOPPIX_V7.0.4DVD-2012-08-20-EN.iso
What is, please, the next step?
