question about knoppix

[Nab]

I'm just beginning to learn how to use linux so i decided to go with knoppix, but when I go to download a brownser (opera), which one do i get? I'm going to be downloading it, burning it on a disk then installing it on linux. I'm trying some trial and error stuff. Sorry for the dumb question. Thanks in advance.

Since knoppix is based on Debian, I'd try the deb version. If that doesn't work, try the tar.gz. Personally I've used the static version before and I think it's easier to setup.

Mozilla or firebird should be installed though. Using one of those might be easier.

i burned knoppix onto a cd but i can't get it to start. Any help? I went into BIOS and changed it to boot through cd-rom. I downloaded the ISO through their website and burned it onto a disc with NERO. Maybe I burned it the wrong way? Anyone know what's wrong?

EDIT: I think i burned it wrong, i didnt' burn it as a "boot-cd". Anyone know how to do this with NERO?

You should not need to burn it as a boot-cd. Just make sure that you burn it as an image and not as a data cd.

Sorry but I've never used Nero but here is what I got from google.
1. Launch Nero.
2. Choose File, Burn Image and you'll be presented with a dialog box.
3. Click on the Files of type: dropdown box and select All Files (*.*).
4. Select the .ISO file you downloaded then press Open.
5. Next, Nero will show another dialog box of CD burning options. Accept the defaults:
* Type of Image: Data Mode 1
* Block size (Bytes): 2048
* Image header (Bytes): 0
* Image trailer (Bytes): 0)
6. Choose OK.
7. The Write CD dialog box should appear next.
8. Make sure Write, Finalize CD, and Disc-At-Once are checked, then choose Write.
