You are likely here because the answer to your question is the same as it was the last few hundred times it was asked and answered. Follow the documentation link near the top of the page and read the wiki section that applies.

If you were referenced to answer #1 read the downloading faq, which includes testing and burning information, including information about what is the most common burning error that leads people to wrongly say "the disc must be good, it worked on a different system". All of the information in this FAQ is important.

If you were referenced to answer #2 then read the HDD install information, particularly the warning that this is not a good idea for a new user, and some of the problems that you will encounter if you insist on doing a hard disk install with this Live CD/DVD.

If you were referenced to answer #3, it's most likely because you want network help, but have omitted critical information about your network, like what NIC hardware you are using, what router (make and model), or even what type of service you have (DSL is different than cable, we need to know if we are going to help). It also helps if you give people the result of simple basic commands, like netcardconfig.

If you were referenced to answer #4 I just want to share with you a simple tip. While you may be able to get your system working without a router, I really don't understand any logic in not using one any more. These things are now dirt cheap (I've seem many, wired, wireless and even 802.11g high speed routers for under $10 and as low as $2.99 after rebate [one was even "free"]). These devices take care of all Knoppix Internet setup for you by DHCP and provide you an important level of NAT firewall security. They use far less electricity than a windows box running "connection sharing" software, and you'll find that not giving windows a chance to impact your Linux connection is a wise move. If you are running Knoppix then a router will make your high speed connection much cleaner. And if you are still running Windows then you are asking for trouble if you are not using one. Wireless networking is not well supported in Knoppix; see the wireless networking section of the wiki for details.

If you were referenced to answer #5 see the Rescue FAQ in the wiki.
