I downloaded the iso image to my harddrive (690MB took FOREVER even over DSL!). I got it from the perdue Knoppix mirror. Reputable. Running Windows XP Home.

I validated the MD5 hashes,
changed my boot sequence to check the CD first,
copied the iso to a cd-r...
When I reboot it checks the CD rom drive VERY quickly and then immediately boots to Windows XP Home.

It isn't the BIOS boot sequence. I checked. Do I have to DO something to the iso before burning it to cd or something? I thought I had read all the instructions and FAQs on the main Knoppix site.

What did I do wrong?

I am new to Linux and am trying to get Knoppix to work for a lab for an incident response course. Didn't want to overlay my current OS since it is the family computer. Ya know?

Help on how to get my CD to boot is MUCH APPRECIATED!
