Jason;
As you know I am still quit the fumbler.
Initially,placing a knoppix disk the disk booted.
I tried mounting a Cd. in Debian.
which it mounted, although I could not read the html
probably my shortcomming.
but then could not unmount the Cd.
The computer froze-up and I finally removed the battery.
Knoppix loaded again and now does not load.
Oh, but for these grand mysteries would life be but mundane. Thanks, Anthony 
Kaluta
