Glad you have it resolved, but as to the above quote, BitTprrent speeds have been much faster (and are right the first time). Lots of people get the ISO on BT faster than that; heck many even got it the first day faster than that when there were few seeders. I have a friend who downloaded the CD a few days after it came out in 22 minutes on BT (he has a very fast pipe). And BT is right the first time (assuming that you are not downloading to FAT partitions).

In case this helps out, I ran into trouble burning the iso file from my windows machine which is the only machine I own with a dvd burner, so if you need to burn the dvd sized iso file use Imgburn, it is an excellent tool for when you are trapped burning large iso files from windows :?

dvryknopper, are you talking about XP, since Win98 will not hold the Knoppix DVD ISO, or some other flavor of Windows? What other burning programs did you try and have problems with?

I am referring to an NTFS partition Windows XP sp2 machine. I only tried one other application (freeware application) which was called ISO Recorder v 2, it had a built in file size limitation and would not complete the burn, I did some googling and found the selection of freeware iso recorder applications to be rather sparse for windows, when I did a search for "dvd iso burning applications" or something to that affect, Imgburn was one of the first results to be displayed as far as free windows dvd size iso burning programs

Thanks. It will be good info for others to know that ISO Recorder v 2 has a size limitation that prevents burning Knoppix 5.0.1 DVD.

Here is how I was finally able to get the whole thing to work.
Thanks to all the help posted here.

- I downloaded the Knoppix 5.0.1 CD version and created the CD, tested it and put it aside
- I downloaded the Knoppix 5.0.1 DVD file with bit torrent (As mentioned before, make sure it is put on a NTFS or Linux partition)
- Rebooted the computer using the Knoppix 5.0.1 CD and burned the DVD image using K3b
Hope this helps
