When it first boots it stops at a boot: prompt. type knoppix26 and press return. It will now boot the machine into a fully working system. If you watch the screen you will see it scan your machine to see what hardware is installed etc. You get a nice GUI with LOTS of programs to use. It will run a bit slow as CD is a lot slower than HD and it has to decompress the programs first as there are over 2 gig worth of programs squeezed into 700M.
Let me know if you want to go down the squirting over network or burning to CD and I'll talki you through the next stage.
PS If you want walking through it add my MSN user
[email protected] and I'll chat you through via MSN in realtime
