Actually, No, I used the Track at Once methode that EZCD4 selected
when I opened the ISO image. I certainly didn't see this as an issue,
since there i only 1 track in this ISO file (and it's the way I've
burnt plenty of ISO files in the past. But I'm asking for help, so I
went ahead and tried your suggestion, The result, as I expected, was
another useless CDR that will not boot. So my question back to you
would be why did you ask this if it's not at all relavant?
Apparently there is a need to answer a few more questions before I can
have any hope for real help. I had not thought getting help for a
simple "There is a problem buring this ISO" post would be this
complex, but I don't usualy post in Linux groups. So before you have
to ask:
Yes, I put the CDR blank in the drive in the right directiion,
Yes, the drive is a CDR writer and not just a reader, and all the
proper softwar is installed.
Yes, The computer is plugged in and turned on.
No, I'm not blond.
Yes, I know to hit the "Enter" key (and not to type the word ENTER).
Again, I've burnt many other ISO files with sucess. I've downloaded
multiple copies of this file from multiple sites and sucessfully
compaired them, so coruption doesn't seem to be an issue. Suggesting
that it can be burnt with Linux or Knoppix itself isn't helpful, I'm
looking for a way to burn this from Windows as a way to get into Linux
without repatitioning my curret system until I can gain a little
comfort with Linux. Just knowing why this ISO can't be burnt with my
normal tool (EZCD Creator 4) nor examined with IsoBuster (which
examines other ISO files fine but throws up a string of warnings and
errors on this ISO) would be welcome. I thought you Linux guys we
rumored to be technical types, so far the feedback has been very
disapointing.

Hmmm...
Pitching a fit because people reading alt.os.linux can't help you with your Windows software problem...
Have you tried asking on a WINDOWS group?
Have you tried different software other than EZ CDCreator 4?
Have you verified the burns (checked their md5sum AFTER burning)?
The Knoppix ISO is larger than most, requiring a 700MB disk, which you've claimed to understand. Yet, you seem to fail to consider that your versions of EZ CDCreator and/or ISOBuster are incapable of handling ISO files that are that large. In light of the
fact that one respondent to your request burned a bootable ISO using EZ CDCreator 5, I'd recommend updating your software, or using another software tool altogether.

Tim

LAST TIME ............... YOU MUST USE THE "DISC AT ONCE" OPTION TO BURN
EXACT BOOTABLE COPIES OF ISO FILES WITH CDCREATOR !!!!!!!!!!! Go see a MS

What part of "I went ahead and tried your suggestion" are you too
stupid to understand? Did it. It doesn't resolve the problem.

I came her because I searched the news groups and this was the group
where I found people were discussing Knoppix. I also expected Linux
people to be a bit technical, and not ready to type inaccurate
statements and then duck responsibility by either just repeating the
same bad information or blaming the asker for asking a question about
making a Linux CD on a Windows system in a Linux group. My
expectation was that Linux people were technical and had experience
with Linux tools, and so mught know why this ISO differes from all of
the others that I can burn (including many Linux ISO images).
>Have you tried asking on a WINDOWS group?
No, I tried here, where Knoppix was being discussed and where I
thought there was a better chance that people might know why this ISO
differs from other ISO images. Apparently I was wrong.
>Have you tried different software other than EZ CDCreator 4?
I've seen feedback here that it burns OK with EZCD5. Do't have it. Not
sure that I have anything else that will burn an ISO but I do have
tools like ISOBuster that should examine an ISO and extract files (I
was even just going to extract all of the files and make a bootable CD
from them), but ISOBuster made it clear that there were some very
strange things in this image.
>Have you verified the burns (checked their md5sum AFTER burning)?
No. Don't know of amything that would even do that. But again I've
burnt plenty of things with no such problems. Burning this ISO went
fine without any error each time, just the result CD was useless. And
clearly there is something "Strange" with the ISO, which I can
demonstrate with ISOBuster. The burn is not the issue, it's the format
of the ISO.

EZCD4 will burn 700 meg CD's just fine. including 700 meg iso's. Been
there, done that. Yes, maybe EZCD5 is needed, but if that's the case
EZCD5 must use a different ISO format, and I'm hardly going to spring
for the new software just to cut a Knoppix CD.Why should anyone be
encourage to play along with "we changed the ISO format so you have to
upgrade"? And why would Linux users encourage it or even use such a
changed format?
I thought you people would be knowledgable and helpful. I was wrong,
I'm sorry, I'll not expect anything of you in the future.

Don't they offer lifetime upgrades? Many companies do ...

Who says that the ISO format has changed? IIRC the ISO9660 format is
locked. But if you were ever to read the standard (as I was forced to),
you would see that there are many openings that don't specifically
forbid certain things (nor specify how some things should be
used/implemented). Perhaps the Knoppix people used some obscure feature
that neither EZCD4 nor ISOBuster could understand. It would however
still be completely legit, if ISO9660 doesn't forbid it. In other words;
don't complain about buggy software that doesn't meet all the criteria
for ISO9660 compatability.

My my, aren't we being a bit self-centered today? Perhaps you should not
attack the people who are trying to help you. Believe it or not, most of
us do still want to help you ...

Are you too stupid to understand that YOU are the only person in the
universe who cannot burn an iso image, and that therefore YOU are
not doing what other people are telling you to do, whatever you may
THINK you are doing?
Try again, this time examining your own (mis)conceptions, looking
for the thing you think you see but do not see.

The only difference between isos can be in the boottrack centrepart,.
which is not strictly part of it. SO boot from a floppy if you can't
handle a 2880 boot track.

There aren't. Your image is wonky.

Then check.

There is no different iso format. It's just bytes! The software doesn't
care what thos ebytes are. After buring what is burnt must be an exact
byte for byte replica of the original. Check. Run cmp on the two!

There is no "format". You want to make an image of the correctly
downloaded image. Check.

Amazing how ignorance believes the rest of the unibverse is wrong!

Never heard of ISOBuster, and, from my perspective, the fact that it can't read the ISO file says *nothing* about the viability of said ISO. What is the md5sum of the ISO file? Is it the same as that referenced by the site that provided the file?
FWIW, I've burnt things in the past that finished without error, yet weren't good burns. Check the MD5SUM of the burned CD, too. I have no idea how to do that with Windows. In linux, 'md5sum /dev/cdrom', as long as /dev/cdrom is a link to the actual CD Rom
device.

AFAIK, an ISO file is simply an image of the CD. You can build an ISO file in linux by typing 'dd if=/dev/cdrom of=<path to some filename>.iso.

Ah yes, judge the competancy of an ENTIRE newsgroup based on the inability of said membership to assist you in your one wierd-XXX problem, that's marginally linux related. I've found many people on this group to be quite knowledgable in many areas of linux
, and helpful, too.
Good luck,

| After reading your plight, I went to the sunsite d/l the knoppix
image and burn it with my "EZ CDCreator 4" (version 4.04_D11)
After it's done I booted successfully with the knoppix CD.
Sorry, still no answer and I don't think EZ CDCreator is to
blame.

extracting it to cd. lmfao

| I alway's download my iso's and I've never had a corrupt one, I use a
download program and even pause if need be and the downloads are still fine.
As for burning cd's I find nero to be the best most reliable tool for that,
I got Easy CD Creator with my burner and chose not to use it, when using
nero you should use the wizard, its quicker and spares you the trouble of
having to know everything there is to know about iso image formats and other
confusing things like that.
Hope this helps :-)

| Keep trying and you won't be disappointed.
Sorry I cannot see all the messages in this thread but I beg you to
START OVER AGAIN WITH THE DOWNLOAD PROCESS. That is where I had
troubles my first time.
There was info on the kNOPPIX website I believe about how to use the
M5 checksums? Luckily I just crossed my fingers and burned the 2nd
image with Easy Creator 4 and it worked. Knoppix uses a special form
of compression as I understand it so that is why iso buster cannot see
inside I'm guessing.
