    Do you have it Downloaded? If not go to http://www.distrowatch.com and download it there. Once you have it downloaded use imgburn or nero to burn the ISO to a disk. Then restart your PC(Make sure you have your first boot device as CD-ROM which can be changed by getting in the BIOS) Then you will boot up into the live CD.....

    Enjoy!

    presuming it's burnt correctly ie as an 'ISO' image then it should boot perfectly..then just reboot pc with the cd and enjoy :)

    (it all runs from the cd so won't affect anything on your hard drive)

    What speed did you burn your ISO at and what media brand were you using.

    i get that problem on some PC's (where knoppix or other live CD's just sit there) - it's usually just something in the hardware it doesn't like. In knoppix there's an option (a few of them actually) that you can choose from at that "boot:" prompt when you first boot it up...

    Usually when you get the boot prompt pressing <F1> will bring up a list of options for boot. Screen resolution, no hardware probing etc.
    Check the forums and homesite for whatever distro it is you are using.
