Surreal CD burning problem

[lazyant]

Hello,

I downloaded KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-10-28-DE. I have Roxio's Easy CD Creator Basic, and I just double-clicked the .iso file and the CD was burned without a problem or having to adjust any options. The CD booted fine.

The only problem is that by mistake I had downloaded the German version, so OK, I'll just repeat the operation with the English version. So I downloaded the SAME version/date of knoppix (same size, at least up to 698.10 MB) but the EN one.

First problem came when CD Creator refused to create the CD, it said "invalid .iso image file"). (By the way, the graphical MD5Sum interface from toast442.org just kept on crashing).

Then I downloaded ISO Recorder Power Toy. At first it said the media wasn't valid. I rebooted and this time it recognized the blank CD. It recorded the CD but now ... it doesn't boot !!

I give up, my computer hates English, I'll just learn German...

I have a similar problem. I downloaded the iso but can´t burn it cause nero said it is oversized. 701MB! Do I need a 90 min CD?

Weird problem, but...

The only difference between the English and German Knoppix is the default lang=. So if you boot with (..press F2 and enter..) "knoppix lang=en" you have an English Knoppix.

"knoppix lang=en"

On the german keyboard the "=" Key is <SHIFT> 0

Sounds like a bad .iso file to me. You may be able to use rsync and an rsync mirror of the image to repair your .iso.
