How to make an boot.img for knoppix 3.4

Boot your knoppix cdrom (at an friends computer J )
Download http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/CeBit/make_floppy_3.4.sh to your home dir.
Open console there from the top konqueror menu, and do
sudo sh ./make_floppy_3.4.sh
You now have an boot.img file in your home dir, follow the next step that you see on the command line to make an floppy boot disk. Or save it to an other location to make it later with the (on an old knoppix cdrom or download it ) rawrite program.
Now that you have the boot floppy you can add cheatcodes that you like to autoload and make
an costum knoppix cdrom (for me it was knoppix lang=nl). You can use the floppy with any linux (k3b) or windows burning program. One thing though that is missing now is the kernel 2.6 option so you are stuck with kernel 2.4 (wich is fine too)

good luck , I hope its usefull. (please report any findings you might have)
