after customizing - after the HOWTO - , I wanted to make a bootdisk to check everything.
However, the command:

mkboot -r /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1/KNOPPIX/boot.img

exits with "no space left on device": in fact, KNOPPIX/boot.img is 1.5MB !
What have I to do?

Thanks for any info...

try to save some space from the "space eating" things, like logo.16 and other graphic stuff
you can also get rid of part of f2 ...

thanks,
I found the easiest way is just to use dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440
strange, boot.img is 1.5M, yet this works
