You burn it to a CD. It's an ISO file. That means it's a CD "image". You don't just copy the file to your CD but rather tell your CD Burner program to "create a CD from an image". Point it to the ISO file you downloaded onto your HD.
Then, you can put that CD in your CD-ROm and reboot. Knoppix comes up if all goes well. Ask Dr. Google if you're still unclear what an ISO is or how Knoppix works. :) --Dave <quote who="justin bradley"> > Thank you very much for your replies. One question.
