[PLUG] Knoppix (Linux on CD) troubles

[Ben Mabbott]

Unfortunately that isn't going to work. ISO makes it easier to move around
the contents of a CD by rolling it all into one file. For the image to work,
it needs to be reverted back into it's component files when it is burned.

The HP software does not have the ability to do this. What it does is simply
burn the ISO file itself to CD, which is not the same thing. Rather than
just a CD with whatever.ISO on it, you should have multiple files. You're
going to need another burning program. I know that Nuro and CDRWin will do
the job. AFAIK there is no free app. for windows that will do it.

"copied onto CD" means that we used HP RecordNow in Windows and hit the
"Make a Data Disc" button to copy the .iso file onto a CD.  It seemed to
compare well with the "how to burn a CD in Windows" I saw in one of the
Knoppix FAQs.  I think it's the Windows equivalent of the "cdrecord"
command you gave me.  I also checked the file size of the .iso file
against the original mirror on the source site, and it matched.

Thanks for the question - it was a good one.
