can i boot knoppix with a virtual cd-rom

i have knoppix510dvd-screensaver.iso and i was wondering if i could boot it from a virtual cdrom i tried and all it brings up is a ms-dos window:???:

no you have to burn it to a cd and then boot from the cd

i dont have a dvd burner is there a set of cd iso i can download?
or another way to do it?


nevermind i went and bought a dvd burner !!!!!!!

knoppix screensaver.iso after i burned it I tried to run it and it told me the kernerl was invalid



so i downloaded KNOPPIX_V5.1.1CD-2007-01-04-EN.iso and it worked just fine:rolleyes:

Ok I am really new to Linux. I read Jason's post on "The Ultimate Linux FAQ " and came acrros Knoppix.

There were 2 versions. One was 700megs and the other was 4.02 gigs. Can Someone tell me what is the difference?

I am currently downloading "KNOPPIX_V5.1.1CD-2007-01-04-EN.iso".

Thanks

I tried the 4 gig one and couldnt get it to work so i download the one u r and it works


but i dont know what the difference is

Oh boy, I am sorry I am downloading the DVD copy.

The DVD copy just contains more software as far as I know...I think it contains Gnome Desktop too in addition to the choice of KDE it makes for the CD.

thanks bigtomrodney
