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

Look for a selection to change the boot
order so that your CD or DVD boots before the hard disk.
 Add boot options??”Instead of just letting the boot process autodetect and configure
everything about your hardware, you can add options to the boot prompt that will override
what KNOPPIX autoconfiguration might do. Press F2 from the boot prompt to see
additional boot options.
Some boot options are available with which you can try to overcome different issues at boot
time. KNOPPIX refers to these options as cheat codes. For a more complete list, refer to the file
knoppix-cheatcodes.txt, which you??™ll find in the KNOPPIX directory when you mount the
CD or the DVD that comes with this book on any operating system.
Many boot options can be used with different Linux systems. So if you are having trouble
installing or booting a different Linux distribution, you can try any of these options
to see if they work. Instead of the word ???knoppix,??? you will probably use a different word to launch
the install or boot process for other distributions (such as ???linux??? for Fedora systems or ???morphix??? for
Morphix Live-CD, depending on the distribution).
When KNOPPIX first begins the boot process, you see the boot screen, with the boot: prompt at
the bottom.
