Hello, I'm new to the whole Linux community. I got tired of Windows, and its stupid limited resources. So I got a knoppix disc. On my old Windows 998 computer, I have the BIOS setup thingy up, but I can't figure out how to do this. I put the cd rom drive as the first boot, but it's still starting windows. Please help me!

Thanks, but I know what the problem is now. You see, I'm one of those people who live where all you can get is dial-up. But my friend and I are very close to the system administrator at our school, so we downloaded Knoppix on the school's LAN. But my friend burned the disc wrong, soooo yea. I know whats wrong now.
