hi. ok i run win xp home on dialup . it took me like 3hrs to dl the current iso. then i burnt it as iso. it has 4 things in it boot folder,lost and found folder,index,knoppix file. i went to my bios its set to boot off floppy 1st, cd 2nd , hd 3rd. it wouldnt do anything as it was so i unchecked floppy n hd then it goes to black boot screen but just says flick f1 to retry boot or f2 to go to setup screen. anyone know whats wrong? and how do you verify the md5? also when i was dl the current iso my ip disconnected and it only had like 91% downloaded could that do it? and is there anyway to just get the parts i missed?
i'd hate to have to re download the whole thing as it probably disconnect at some point again. thank you

Yes, you must complete the download to 100%. If you still have the file, you could get wget (command is wget -c [url] ) or some other download manager to resume your download.

To verify md5, you can use md5sum, or some other program that can verify that your download isn't corrupt.
