-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Linux or Knoppix ??

Thank you Tom, I used the CD-RW so maybe that is why it didn't work, Can't 
check now as I don't have any CD-R till I go to the store again. I take it I 
will still have to put the boot floppy part on the #1 disk, Or could it be that 
#1 disk will have the boot on it?
Yours Hank

  Hank-

  As with all ISO files, an *.iso file is an image file created from many 
  individual files, all joined together to create a single large file that 
  can be easily downloaded and then checked for integrity.  That is why 
  they always are accompanied by an MD5 sum.  You'll need to download the 
  MD5 sum for that file plus the MD5 program that allows you to create an 
  MD5 sum.  Once you've downloaded the *.iso, you create an MD5 sum and 
  compare it with the one that's posted with the file.  If they are 
  identical, the file hasn't been corrupted.  This is what an MD5 sum 
  looks like:  b2d3e4f7bb050ea0e04ea462d7d46d8f   The MD5 sum you create 
  and the one posted with the file must be IDENTICAL or the file is corrupted.

  As far as creating a bootable CD, open Nero (I use Express) and select 
  "Disk Image or Saved Project".  In the next window that comes up, go to 
  the box at the bottom and where the file types are listed, change it so 
  that *.iso is one of them.  Now find the *.iso image you downloaded and 
  click Open.  Make sure the correct burner is selected and the proper 
  write speed and number of copies.  Click Next and go on to burn the CD. 
    DO NOT try to use a CD-RW disc.  Use only a CD-R.

burn it is a disk so I can use it but I can't get the bootup part of the disk 
to find the sys files. The Linus site says you have to burn in a diff way to 
most files, I don't understand it at all. Anyone know how to change the Knoppix 
.iso file to a system file using Nero burner? I also have the yarrow files 
downloaded and they are iso files too. I have most of the Redhat and they are 
most .rpm files, any help on either of these?
