KnoppiXMAME 1.1

[drfreak]

Hey folks, KnoppiXMAME 1.1 has hit the mirrors and is ready for you all to enjoy! The biggest new feature you all may be interested in is the 2.6 kernel. Feel free to check it out and hack away. The file size has also been halved to 150MB. You can get it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/knoppixmame

I'ved tried this disc strictly for the kernel. I'm wondering if I can use it to boot the original KNOPPIX cloop files.

The easy route would be to replace your CD's /KNOPPIX directory with that of the /KNOPPIX directory from any of Klaus's release. Any reason why this wouldn't work?

Another route would be build a floppy/CD image with the original boot.img (from a Klaus release) and add the contents of your /isolinux directory to that boot floppy/CD. I presume that the KnoppixMAME file in that directory is an uncompressed (non-bzImage) version of your kernel. Would this work as well?

"No, I didn't port cloop, I used squashfs instead. "

He said He used the squashfs, not the cloop
so you may uncompress the Knoppix(Clause)
with the cloop un-compress
then compress it with the squashfs compress

then replace the /KNOPPIX dir
make the new ISO

I don't try , I don't know whether it works.

In Vmware, I get the following issues:
*help-text at pressing F1 is too long (25 lines should be maximum).

if you have programming experience, you might want to create a syslinux COMBOOT module which displays the document you want to display one screen at a time.

*MAME does not have correct attributes. Since it's on a read-only medium, your users are out of luck.
"/mnt/cdrom/bin/xmame is not a valid executable"

Impressive bootable medium, by the way. GameOS :)

I'll have a look at the kernel structure, though I'm hardly familiar with GNU/Linux at all..
