Hi, I have just downloaded Knoppix Live CD and I have this files I understand should be buerned to make a Linux Knoppix based CD or DVD, now I have some questions about this,

1- I do not know if I will burn a DVD or a CD, I have always used CD's in Windows as a bootable device such as Bart's PE and you just insert the CD and after a while you have a Windows based computer working with the OS located in the CD, my question is if Linux Knoppix in CD/DVD is similar, you insert it and boot from the CD and start Linux. I have not ever seen Linux and would like to get used to it before I install it as a second OS.

2- Once I have burned the CD/DVD using the proper recorder and after doing this and booting from the CD/DVD unit will this OS modify my C:/ files or perhaps do something unwanted on my PC HD?.

3- Is Linux Knoppix GUI similar to Windows Os's, files, format, archives, erase etc.....

Finally any recommendation on the prior points will be very much appreciated as I do want to look into this OS .

Best regards,

TEEH
