Nothing against Tools like Universal-USB-Installer, LiLi or unetbootin - But it's better to use the flash-knoppix program included with Knoppix. That one can create a LiveUSB-Installation on a big...

Hello ttopp;


Well, I still don't know why Your PC can boot Spinrite from flash storage but seemingly nothing else. Therefore I don't yet have an answer.


Sorry, I can't help you there...

Hello utu;


I think it is indeed the same init file: While playing with the bootfrom= cheat code (to learn what I had wrought upon poor ttop with my "shot from the hip" test suggestion), I was...

Flash devices onto which ttop had written Knoppix 7.0.5 (both using the experimental installer "flash-knoppix2" and the "traditional" installer) were directly bootable (as USB block storage devices)...

Hello ttopp

What did happen after the searching? Did it just hang there? Nothing?

Yes. The "traditonal" Knoppix flash installer can create an overlay file system directly on bootable flash media (not just in RAM, as most...

So Mr. Schulz came up with the useful recommendation (while I only came up with unhelpful guesses). You need a boot medium that works. There are several possible approaches now, depending on Your...

Step 10 does not describe tasks You (as the user of the experimental Installer) have to perform, it just lists the many sub-tasks the Installer has to perform (while You have to wait).

Hello philo

Until now, I did not understand why you had appearantly choosen to ignore my advice.
Your explanation makes that clear, Thank You for taking the time. I had guessed that my...

Hello philo



Before the /usr/bin/flash-knoppix2 script can fail, it should show you
a dialog with a list of storage devices. In that list your 32 GB key should appear
