OK, heres my question is it possible to make a bootable DVD load the normal CD version of knoppix then have the rest of the dvd be used as storage medium for multimedia etc.

From what I've seen one of the problems with a knoppix DVD version is memory swap space etc, but what if the dvd just booted the normall 700 MB image that goes on cd's, then maybe knoppix could mount the remaining space on the disk (the several gigs left on a DVD) uncompressed with multimedia content on it?

Could this be done with some kinda multi session burn or something?

Thanx in advance for any help with a Knoppix newbie like me.

I love Knoppix :!: I can think of many uses this might have in allowing people to share digital content creations and or bringing your music library with you whereever you go on 1 dvd. :-)

this is already possible.
Knoppix itself is just a single 695MB file.
Add any multimedia data you want, then create a new ISO.
specify the same boot image as that was originally used.

here's my 3GB disk. Knoppix directory still contains everything, unmodified.
