Step 3: Take Knoppix for a Spin
to Make Sure It??™s Working
This step shows you how to launch Knoppix, view some files, attach a USB drive,
access the Internet via a broadband connection, and then close down Knoppix.
Launch Knoppix
To launch Knoppix, follow these steps:
With Windows running, insert the Knoppix disc. If Windows opens an Internet
Explorer window showing information about the Knoppix distribution,
browse it if you wish to.
Close your Windows programs, and then restart your PC. The PC boots from
the Knoppix disc, and the Knoppix screen appears.
If your PC doesn??™t boot from the Knoppix disc, you may need to change the PC??™s BIOS settings to
make the PC boot from the optical drive. See Project 6 for instructions on doing this.
Press ENTER to start loading Knoppix. You??™ll see several screens full of text in
various colors as Knoppix loads, displaying messages that track its progress.
