Problem with Knoppix v3.4 Live CD

[lotuseclat79]

I purchased the O'Reilly book Knoppix Hacks with the Knoppix v3.4 Live CD because I have a 56K dialup modem connection to the Internet and downloading a 700MB Live CD is prohibitive.

During the course of booting up with the Knoppix Live CD, I keep getting:
Disk error 10, AX=4200 drive EF or
Disk error 10, AX=4280 drive EF

It gets that error for all of the cheat codes I have tried including failsafe, even when I type in from the boot prompt (below):
boot: knoppix testcd

Does this mean that the Knoppix v3.4 CD is corrupt or bad? Note: I have DVD and CD-ROM drives.

I do have a Ubuntu 6.0.6 Live CD that works without that problem.

Have you tried KH on another system? Also, can you see if there are any physical defects to the disk?
Another possible solution would be to make a copy of the disk (at as slow a speed as possible) and try the copy.
