Welcome to Knoppix jlh

to Boot Knoppix from CD 1.Put CD in drive 2.Shut down computer 3.Start (boot up) computer

There may be just a couple of complications…  you MUST have (or configure) a system that checks for a boot from a CD BEFORE booting from the hard drive.  Source for directions to reconfigure on various systems:  you MUST adjust for expected screen resolution  Easiest to enter the following at the first prompt: fb1024x768

And then there aren’t the drivers… Much of your peripheral hardware will cease to be “plug and play” –You will have to tour the manufacturers’ websites for Linux-compatible drivers (if they exist yet) Since you may not have access to many of your secondary storage devices and your CD is being used for the operating system… –You may be limited to the storage space on floppy disks for your A: drive to save files.

So, with just a few minor adjustments, YOU ARE HERE!!! Click to select a language This gets you to the desktop

Okay, so how do I get from “HERE” to the application software? Actually, you don’t get this – it’s part of the “screen capture procedure
