Sorry I hit enter and didn't finish the message, so here goes.



I pick START KNOPPIX ENGLISH (I am guessing this is what I was

supposed to pick).



Next 4 penguins show up

Running linux kernel 2.6

Total memory

Scanning firewall/usb

Enabling DMA for 80gig

Enabling DMA for other 250gig



Then I get



CAN'T FIND KNOPPIX FILESYSTEM, SORRY, DROPPING YOU TO A VERY LIMITED

SHELL



Then I am presented with

Additional built in commands available:

-CAT

-INSMOD

-MOUNT

-UMOUNT

-LSMOD

-RMMOD



Restart by hitting the reset button.



That is it. Hopefully that is more descriptive and can show the way.

Ok Paul. I did manage to get Ubuntu running and opened up BitDefender-

Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run

I had to set the privileges like you said, but when I tried to run it

- it told me I had to be a SUPER USER. Not sure what the heck that

means!?!?!

The "sudo" command solves that problem, with some exceptions.



sudo ./Antivirus-Scanner-7.6-4.linux-gcc4x.i586.deb.run



Sudo is a thing that "root" or the administrator, sets up for ordinary

users. People in the "sudoers" group, are allowed to run certain

commands that need elevation. For example, granting a user the ability

to "mount" a partition with the mount command, is pretty handy for

day to day Unix usage.



On a "real" Unix box, you'd be prompted for a password, when using

sudo. On the LiveCD distros, usually that isn't necessary.



Hope that fixes it.
