OverviewKNOPPIX+LKB is a bootable Linux live CD intended to make it easier for students to run LKB on their own computers. It requires no hard disk installation to run. It's similar in concept to Grammix, but defaults to English and contains somewhat more recent software. | ||||||||

| > > | KNOPPIX+LKBOverviewKNOPPIX+LKB is a bootable Linux live CD intended to make it easier for students to run LKB on their own computers. It requires no hard disk installation to run. It's similar in concept to Grammix, but defaults to English and contains somewhat more recent software. KNOPPIX+LKB is a work-in-progress and the current release should be considered a beta test. Please email brodbd@u and let me know if you find it useful, if you encounter bugs other than those listed below, or if there are software packages or fonts you'd like to see added. I'm not a linguist and I don't work much with LKB myself, so I'll be relying heavily on feedback from other users to refine this tool.What's on it?
System requirementsTo boot the CD, you need at least the following:
Getting KNOPPIX+LKBVisit the download directory and download the .iso file. There is also a checksum file (ending in .md5) if you'd like to check the integrity of your download. The .iso is a bootable CD image; do NOT just copy it to a CD. If you're running Windows, you should use something like ISO Recorder to burn the image. If you're using a Mac, you should double-click the .iso file to open it, then run Disk Utility, select the .iso file, and click Burn. The image is approximately 690 megabytes, so you'll need to use a 700 megabyte (aka. "80 minute") CD blank.Using KNOPPIX+LKBBoot the CD. If you have a Windows machine, you may need to change your BIOS configuration to boot from CD; try it first, though, it may just work. If you have a Dell system, tapping F12 during the Dell boot screen may pop up a menu that will let you select a boot device. Intel Mac users should hold down the C key while powering on the computer. When the CD finishes booting a window will pop up with some information on how to get started and how to save your files.Media CheckIf you have trouble with the live CD failing partway through the boot process, or some software fails to load, you should make sure your burned copy isn't damaged. To do this, boot the CD and typeCGI knoppix testcd at the "boot:" prompt.
