hi there,

i was showing a mate the knoppix cd but his bios is protected with a password so we couldnt set his machine to boot from the cd.

my friends computer is his only one and he uses it to run his small business so i didnt want to start pulling batteries out or running password delete utilities from boot disks, just in case something went wrong .

ive got the boot floppy but when it booted, it didnt detect his cd roms and didnt start the knoppix cd. the floppy just booted to the knoppix# prompt.

i guess there are commands that i can use to start the knoppix iso from the floppy disk. i did a search in the forum but had no joy, couldnt work that one out either.

anyway, can someone tell me what are the commannd to

1. mount the cd rom from the floppy knoppix# prompt
2. start the knoppix iso from the floppy knoppix# prompt

a thousand thankyou's
