"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"

Insert your KNOPPIX DVD or CD into the appropriate drive.
2. Reboot the computer. After a few moments, you will see the boot screen.
Although the boot screens look different for the Linux Bible 2008 EditionDVD and a
regular KNOPPIX CD, you can proceed with the boot process the same way.
3. Press Enter. If all goes well, you should see the KNOPPIX desktop, and you can proceed
to the section ???Using KNOPPIX.??? If KNOPPIX doesn??™t boot up properly or if you want to
tune it further before it boots, continue on to the next section. In particular, you might
want to use some of the boot options shown in Table 11-1.
Correcting Boot Problems
By understanding a bit about the boot process you will, in most cases, be able to overcome any
problems you might have installing KNOPPIX. Here are some things you should know:
 Check boot order??”Your computer??™s BIOS has a particular order in which it looks for
bootable operating systems. A typical order would be floppy, CD or DVD, and hard disk.
If your computer skips over the KNOPPIX boot disk and boots right from hard disk,
make sure that the boot order in the BIOS is set to boot from CD or DVD. To change the
BIOS, restart the computer and as it first boots the hardware, enter Setup (quickly) as
instructed (usually by pressing F1, F2, or DEL).
