    just to state the obvious, but did you burn it as an image and not as a
    file? in other words, if you mount the cd and ls, do you see a knoppix
    .iso? or do you see the folders and files contained in the .iso?
    (such as "autorun.bat" and a "boot" folder and a "cdrom.ico" etc..

    If you can boot a win cd and not the knoppix, then I'd guess its just
    not burned right. I'm embarrased to admit, though, that I've never
    burned a cd image in Linux, sooo... someone else jump in with
    instructions for burning an iso...
