KNOPPIX-booting problem

Mij-

Did you check the md5 sum before burning? You may have gotten an incomplete image.

--God, do I ever hate Nero. I replaced my parents' crappy (20x?) cdrom with an old Sony 8x4x32 burner I had lying around. Installing Nero CRASHED THE SYSTEM where it would never get to Win98 GUI - instead, it would spontaneously reboot! Had to restore Windows dir from a September backup.

--I told them, Forget Nero. Go buy Adaptec EZCD creator or something.

--I haven't burned anything using Wincrap software in God knows how long... I use cdrecord and a bunch of scripts I wrote in Linux for everything.

I'm realy surprized to hear all that. I've never had the slightest troble with NERO, and I've never encountered anything but problems with any product released by Roxio. Even on the PC's in the Computer lab on the local college campus, EZDC is a hunk of junk that never works and trying to burn an iso with it cause a system crash.

To work around this problem, create a boot floppy using the mkfloppy.bat file in the Knoppix directory on the cd. Insert a blank, formatted floppy in your A drive and run the bat file. Then boot using the floppy, leaving the cd in its drive. If you want English, edit the syslinux.cfg file that will be created on the floppy and change lang=de to lang=us in the first place that it appears in the file.
