Welcome jco1 or is that jc01

There a a number of ways to run and boot KNOPPIX.
Here is one:
For a fat32 drive system, create a folder:

C:\KNOPPIX

From the KNOPPIX CD you open the folder
KNOPPIX and copy the one file called
KNOPPIX onto you drive into the folder
that you just made.

Then you make a boot floppy from the CD
file in the folder KNOPPIX called boot.img
Have your computer boot from the floppy.

Also check out Doc for cheat codes and
saving your home files.
