Hello from Music City, USA!
Newbie to everything Linux here. I've been hearing about Linux from Kevin Rose and others on G4/TechTV and have decided to give this a try.

I've downloaded a 689 meg file named:
KNOPPIX_V3.4-2004-05-17-EN
and burned it to a CD-R. I've gone into my bios and changed my settings to boot to CD first, but it pauses briefly when booting up, and the STILL goes into Windows XP.

I'm must be doing something foolishly wrong but I'm not sure what. Could someone please help me out?

Thanks,

Jivedaddy
