Chapter 11 . Running KNOPPIX 337 Booting KNOPPIX If you have a PC in front of you that meets the requirements, you can get started by following these steps: 1. 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 DVD 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 Using KNOPPIX section. If KNOPPIX doesn t boot up properly or if you want to tune it further before it boots, continue on to the next section. 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). Look for a selection to change the boot order so that your CD or DVD boots before the hard disk. . Make boot floppies If your computer still can t boot from CD or DVD, you can create two floppy boot disks to start the boot process. To create the floppy boot disks from a running KNOPPIX system, run the mkbootfloppy command that is on the KNOPPIX disk (it automatically finds the floppy images and tells you when to put in the floppy disks). To create KNOPPIX floppy disks on other operating systems, refer to the KNOPPIX Boot Floppy How To (www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/BootFloppyHowTo). . 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. Note
