Without more details (you didn't give us much to go on), it sounds like a bad disc. Is it pressed or burnt? If burnt it was likely burnt at high speed and that is very likely the source of your problem. This is the major reason I advise against buying a copy of a Linux CD - the seller is likely out to make a buck off of others' work and mass produces the discs as fast as he can (and often on low quality media, but even expensive media doesn't help fix high speed burn issues). It is well known here that high speed burns often cause this problem. It is also strange that you would have bought a copy of 3.6, that is a very old version of Knoppix (will not even support some modern hardware that you could have). I can't find an exact date for 3.6, but 3.7 came out in 2004! And it might not even have everything that you need for your class (again, you didn't give us much information on what you really need for your class). My advice would be to download, by BitTorrent, the newest version of Knoppix, check the md5 sum, and then burn it slowly as an image, as explained in the downloading faq.
