Thanks for the great introduction .... but Houston, I got a problem.

I downloaded Knoppix today and checked the Hashcode, it is ok.
The problem is that on the Knoppix website the file length of the iso image is indicate as 689 MB while the length of the downloaded file is 705.078 kB.
The CD is able to burn little more than 700 MB, but unfortunately less than 705.078 kB. So the burning process is aborted at a certain moment and the CD is full but cannot be used. (using Nero Express).

Is there a solution?

Hmmmm....

So I assume you downloaded file:

Code:

[B][B]KNOPPIX_V6.2.1CD-2010-01-31-EN.iso[/B][/B]

And the hash code for your download file is

I can only say i've never had a problem burning Knoppix (and, most recently, this specific version) on 700MB CDs. Suggest you try (in any order that's convenient for you to try)

1. Try using ImgBurn instead of your version of Nero. It's free and i've used it OK many times

2. Try a different CD from different vendor

3. Try a different burner (e.g. use a friend's computer)

You are assuming correctly.
Will now try another image burner software.

It worked with Imgburn, thank you

OK. Let us know how it works

Oh. And one more thing i didn't think to check before.... You are trying to burn the ISO as an image file, right? (not as a data file)

When you use ImgBurn click on Write Image File to Disc

It worked with Imgburn, thank you

This is Houston.

Glad to hear the problem is solved! :grinthumb

Great information, thank you for posting it!!
