Downloading Knoppix

| | Comments (0) |

To make my very own Knoppix CD, and have a version of Linux to run entirely from the CD drive, I first got ISO Recorder so I could make the proper disc image in XP (since plain XP won't do it). I also printed out the how-to page and both the Version 1 and Version 2 pages, even though I'm running XP SP2 -- each seems to have some potentially relevant information for somebody who, until now, didn't know (and is still a little shaky) on what an .iso file is.

Then I started the Knoppix download. Since it's meant to fill an entire CD, it's a 696 MB download, which will take about an hour at Daily News speeds.

More later on the burn ...
