hello!
i got the following:
pc with usb 2.0
usb drive with 1.5 GB
as my cd-rom drive is very slow i'd like to install the knoppix cd on my USB 2.0 drive
my pc does not boot from usb, so i do need a set of floppys (or better a cd) to boot the kernel (2.6) and mount my usb 2.0 drive
any ideas?

that's exactly what i've been trying for hours! but how is this done? a knoppix cd boots as default from cd an not from usb?!
maybe this is a silly question, but i'm an absolutelely knoppix newbie...

Maybe (and I strongly stress maybe) this will work:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/
Get the boot.img. That is actually the boot image for the Sarge installer for Debian and it loads USB drivers.. ;) I won't have a chance to try it out myself until next week. There was also a DOS floppy somewhere on the web long ago but I had no luck with it. I'd be curious to know of any results you may have. I *think* there was a Knoppix remaster that had USB boot capabilities but that may have been for USB boot BIOS boxes only.
