How can I mount the Knoppix iso?

[johann_p]

I tried to mount the iso file and but I get only a few files and one large file <mountpath>KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX that seems to contain all I really want to mount. But when I try to mount this file with "mount -r -t iso9660 -o loop <mountpath>KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX <mountpoint2>" I get an error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop1,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

Any ideas?

The big KNOPPIX file is a compressed loopback image ( cloop ) file. I googled & came up with http://www.stirnimann.com/mystuff/doc/knoppix.txt. Scroll down or search for:
2. Unpack the KNOPPIX source

I also found http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=61106#61106 which describes a similar process.
I hope this helps.
