    Please Help This Newbie!!!!!!!

    Okay I have pretty good knowledge of Windows and DOS, but this Knoppix thing is completely new to me, but I want to learn.

    Can someone send me step by step instructions on how to get the operating system to boot on my computer.

    I've got the boot disk to work, but the actualy Knoppix program is on another CDROM.

    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Welcome to Knoppix.net!
    If every newbie creates a new post with the subject line "Please Help This Newbie!!!!!!!" then we would have tons of useless not helpful non-descriptive subject lines. Over a period of time (weeks/months), these not so good subjects lines would mess up the forums search engine results and would ultimately make the forums less helpful for newbies. See http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16574 for a discussion on why we want better subject lines. A better subject line would be "Burning & Booting problems".

    All that said, there is nothing wrong with being a newbie. I am a unix & linux sysadmin & I too was once a newbie. Please read the Documentation and specifically the Downloading & Burning Frequently Asked Questions where it covers the very basics of getting Knoppix downloaded, burned to disc, & then to successfully boot on your system.
