Hi,

I've gotten Knoppix to run on my dell inpsiron 600m laptop which had crashed, so now I can see the files on my hard drive and access them. Is there any way I can burn them to a cd to back them up? I'm having problems installing K3Bsetup 2....it says "could not update all permissons" and tells me to run the setup as a root. I have no idea what this means, so if someone could help me out I'd really appreciate it. Would this method work anyway? I have a cd-rw, but it's my regular cd-rom drive....would i need an external one if i wanted to back up my data? If so, is there any other way to do it? Thanks.

Andre
