hello,
i'm new to knoppix. my cousin recommended it and i'm looking to get away from windows.

the problem is that i have downloaded the knoppix distro from 2 different mirrors. the md5 matches and when i reboot my system and the disk starts the cd/dvd drive and the hdd are found and then the disk runs and finally tells me that it can't find the knoppix file.

i opened the iso and found that the knoppix file does not have a file extension; it just says "file" as type of file. could this be the problem?

knoppix 5.1.1CD jan/04/2007 is the version.

any ideas would be appreciated.
