<div class="IPBDescription">its l33t</div> I was reformating my work comp and decided that I try to do some fancy partitioning. Then i thought to myself that I should try out Linux on one of them just to learn it and to use it as a testing server for web development testing.
Then I found out about Knoppix, a Linux OS distribution that allows you to have a Linux OS all running from the CD.
So downloaded (its sweet when u dl all 600mb of in 30 min), and ran it. Make it rocked. Now I can make use of a that hunk of my prev work comp on the other side of the office <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
although havent managed to get it workin with the net yet. To connect to the net at my workplace, all you do is set your PC/laptop to your designated IP to get access to JANET. I am trying to figure out wat ip settings that i need to pass on to Knoppix to access the net as weel. IP address, gateway and subnet are easy to copy over but when Knoppix ask for name server etc i get totally confused on waht settings to copy over frm my windows machine (prefered DNS server, Alt DNS server, default gateway)

You mean the latest ISO file? You'll need a burning program that is compatible with ISO files. Most programs support ISO files.. you just need to look around in the menus for something along the lines of "Burn CD from Image" or "Record from CD image"
Then select that, point it to the ISO and burn. All the files should show up on the CD...
If of course they did show up, you probably need to set your bios to boot from your cd drive..

A:Several possibilities again:
*
Windows quick answer: You will need one 700M blank cd. Use a program such as Nero burning rom. You can get a httpfree trial of Nero from their site. To burn with this program, skip the wizard and choose File>Burn Image. Select KNOPPIX_Vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.iso file,>Burn. (Notice, Nero 6 has a bug preventing it from burning large images, for a patch see: httphttp://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4974#23520)
*
Linux: you can use the command cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,3,0 filename where dev=0,3,0 is your cdwriter
(Attention, use "cdrecord -scanbus" before cdrecord to be sure that dev=0,3,0 is you cd-writer. If you own SCSI hds, you could lose all data of one hd when you use cdrecord with a wrong dev=(controler,id,partiton) !)
* Windows long answer: Of course the answer depends on the individual program you are using to burn CDs, but all common CD-Writing programs should support the option of burning bootable ISO-Images, you probably just have to find the right menu option. At the address httphttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/docs/ and on some of the KNOPPIX-Mirrors in a directory with the same name, you may find some examples written as short step-by-step documentations from users who successfully completed the procedure. KNOPPIX_Vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.iso -files are ISO-Images, which uses "El Torito"-Specification (httphttp://www.phoenix.com/resources/specs-cdrom.pdf).
In the ISO-Image there is not only user-data, but also information about the file structure of the CD itself. If you want to see the file structure, have a look at Isobuster (httphttp://www.IsoBuster.com).
To get the image-file on CD use RAW-Mode of your burning-software (have a look at Bild 1 WinOnCD German Edition).
Select the KNOPPIX_Vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.iso as filename of the image. Select 2048 Bytes/Sector as the correct data format (see Bild 2 WinOnCD German Edition).
Burn your CD as a "Single Session CD" or select finalize. The Mode "Disk at once" or "Track at once" should be irrelevant for a data-CD (have a look at the Online-Help of your burning software). If the CD boots, but they are read errors, try "Disk at once".<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
What program are you using to burn the CDs with anyways?.. I had some problems with one, then switched over to nero and it worked fine
