[PLUG] Knoppix (Linux on CD) troubles

[Susan Strayer]

John,

Thanks for the tip.  I'd checked the HP site on how to burn an iso
image, and thought I'd done what they said, but I'll dig a little
deeper.

I've never used HP RecordNow, but I'm guessing that "Make a Data Disc"
is not the option that you wanted.  Usually the option that you want is
something like, "Create CD from disk image".  The difference being that
"Make a Data Disk" probably just copies the ISO onto the CD as one file.
Where as the "Create CD from disk image" creates the file system on the
CD as described in the ISO image.  HTH.
