His problem is burning the Knoppix CD in the first place ;)
Richard: If you have CD writer, I'm sure it came with CD burning
software. I haven't seen a CD writer not come with something, usually
Roxio or Nero. If it came with a prebuilt computer, then somewhere in
your box of documentation and installation CDs, there should be burning
software. It may be several versions old, but usually you can upgrade
for free.
