Hi,
I am using various Linux distributions since 2004 and KANOPPIX for the first time. Generally I avoid burning a CD and try to boot from ISO after copying the files to a spare Hard Disk partition and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst for that partition. I downloaded KNOPPIX 6.0 yesterday and tried to boot as per my method. This is the entry I made for KANOPPIX 6.0:
title KANNOPIX Frugal
root (hd0,9)
kernel /boot/isolinux/linux root=/dev/sda10 lang=en toram frugal
initrd /boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
I also tried to add fromhd=/dev/sda10 and changing sda to hda but it does not work.
I was getting this error:
sh: can't access tty: job control turnedThis is after KNOPPIX boots using the linux and minirt.gz
If I type mount at # prompt I can see that /proc /sys etc are mounted.
I think that the system can't find KNOPPIX folder which is located on the same partition from which it boots.
I have also read the following on distrowatch.com:
Knoppix 5.x boot options and features to the new system (not complete yet)
Does it mean I can't boot from ISO or have frugal install of KNOPPIX 6.0?
