    when i attempt to boot knoppix it prompts me for 6 choices

    when i put the koppix cd in and start the computer, the screen prompts me to choose six different versions to boot from.
    and i am unsure which to choose
    i tried each one and they all boot differently and have different lengths of text.
    but each one ends with
    a:\ and the blinking line.
    i know it is waiting for me to do something but i don't know what.
    a is my floppy disk drive.
    but i don't use it and i don't know why it is waiting for something from there.
    so anyway i don't know what i am doing and i need someone to walk me through this .
    i tried the adobe files that came with my koppix but i didn't find anything that looked like it pertained to this particular problem

    Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.
