I have 700MB CDRs. Knoppix files go to 707 KB max., Can I fit this on my CD ?

Also, I copied the iso image of a CD to my HD and then burned a cd with this. This was done using xcdroast duplicate a CD option. When doing this, the only selection was Burn as a Data CD. My PC will not boot with this CD. Is there any reason /solution for this ?

Thanks.

Dont know about the size issue but the easiest way to create the bootable cd is to copy the iso image right to the CD then you can boot from that.

I have just one CDWriter. So have to copy ISO to HD and then back to the new CD.
When I do this, something is going wrong.

If you're just copying an .iso file to your hd and then copying the .iso file to another CD, that's not going to work. I recommend K3B for burning CDs. If you still have the .iso file on your hd, you would start K3B, select 'Tools | CD | Burn CD Image', select the .iso file, and burn.

This doesn't make sense. I can burn a CD from a ISO image that I download. Why can't I burn a CD from an ISO Image that I copy ?

Thanks.

From your post, I thought you might be copying instead of burning. They're not the same thing. Please forgive me if I misunderstood. Also, if the file is 707MB, it may include extra unnecessary data that's causing the problem. Or it's necessary data that's getting truncated on your 700MB. Now that I think about it, I downloaded knoppix a few weeks ago and it didn't work.

In any case, it wouldn't hurt to give K3B a try to burn it. It's graphical and I believe it will use cdrecord instead of xcdroast. And if worse comes to worse, try downloading the .iso file from http://knoppix.net and burning that with whatever program you want.
