********************************

You have got to learn the difference between booting and running!

Booting from a floppy to run Knoppix is NOT THE SAME as booting from the
Knoppix CD. Booting from a Windows 98 setup floppy and running the setup
program on the CD IS NOT booting from the CD. In each case you "booted" from
the floppy!

If your hardware does not support booting from a CD or USB device you just
ain't gonna do it!

I am so sorry that you can not accept that!
