Just a suggestion....I use a machine which does not have a floppy drive and does not support booting directly from a USB key (which is where I have Knoppix installed). Would it be possible to provide a bootable CD image (ISO) that would allow booting from the CD (probably a mini-cd) and then load Knoppix from the USB key. The SLAX folks have done this for their distribution and I find that it works great! (However, I prefer Knoppix.)

Well, that is easy.

Two ways:

- Use ISOBuster or the corresponging linux tool to remove the big KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file, reburn and you are done.

- Boot from the normal Knoppix CD and directly after the kernel is loaded, get it out of the drive ...
