Boot floppy for Knoppix

[John Richards]

I have installed Knoppix on a HD with David McNab's excellent Installation procedure, and it all works very well indeed.

However while I was doing this the boof floppy procedure failed (perhaps the floppy was faulty - though it formatted OK with no faults later).

I can find no item in the menus of either the Knoppix or the Debian screens for creating a boot floppy from within the installation.

Can someone point me the way. I am probably blind.

See if mkbootdisk is installed. That's what redhat uses.
For info try: man mkbootdisk

You might try using another floppy. They often go bad. A simple way to make a boot floppy while booted from Knoppix is simply to copy and past the following command into a Konsole shell:


dd if=/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
