No, it wasn't your mistake, you stated that clearly in the first post, and any question asked about Knoppix that is not asked in the hd forum should be assumed to be asked about the Live CD.

I agree, cheat codes may be helpful, particularly nodma. You may also find that you need to burn the CD at a slow speed like 4x if you burned it faster (yea, I know, in theory your drive should burn disks at 48x or faster just fine, but a lot of people fianlly acknowledge that all they needed to do to get a CD to boot was burn it at 4x). And I certainly hope that you confirmed the md5 checksum of the iso file before burning it, to be sure that the download was not corrupt.
I don't remember seeing the live cd bit the 1st time I read the post & the post was edited!
