I have not ever seen Linux and would like to get used to it before I install it as a second OS.
Follow the documentation link at the top of this page and read the Downloading FAQ, it should give you all of the information you need about burning and booting Knoppix. I very strongly suggest that you never install it. It is intended to be run from the CD. Once you decide that you want a Linux system installed, there are much better choices to actually install. One would be Debian, the Linux system that Knoppix is based on. There are many others.

It will not modify your PC hard disk. In fact you have to go out of you way to try to make it modify anything on the hard dis, and I strongly suggest that you do not try to write to a NTFS partitioned hard disk with Knoppix. It can read the files there just fine (as long as the file system isn't encrypted), but it defaults to read-only access for safety.

What answer would you like?




Why did you post this in the "Customizing and Remastering " section? It is about neither. I'll move it to a more appropriate forum for you.
