Hello James - 

If you are trying to burn that ISO image of KNOPPIX everyone
was discussing recently (the torrent etc.) then you probably
have an older CD burner than cannot do an 'overburn'. Another
thing people don't tell you. The KNOPPIX ISO image is around
700meg or so and standard (old) burners only do 650meg. Newer
burners (some) will do an 'overburn' out to 700meg.
