...and which knoppix are you talking about?
CD knoppix?
CD knoppix copied to hard disk (vfat, ext2)?
knoppix installed into an ext2 partition, much like a īnormalī linux through knx-hdinstall tool?

Hello oscar !
I want to copy Knoppix cd in vfat harddisk and then boot knoppix from there using Lilo. Can it be done ?

Of course
I'm still working on this wiki page, especialy the lilo description
is not ready, give me 12 hours to complete this.
With lilo you can't boot the iso file directly, you have
to copy the contents of the iso to hd. The iso and boot.images
have a special boot-skript to choose options before booting KNOPPIX
(The "F2"-menu). I don't know how to start this skipt at boot time,
so the "F2"-menus options must be added to appends= in lilo.
If you have ideas, corrections, questions about

please feel free to correct and add them.

PS: I think it is possible to store Knoppix in the same partition
as your normal-Linux-installations. BUT I have to find out how to
be able to mount, read the whole partition when Knoppix is booted
from it.
yes, this works:Originally Posted by fm78
copy cdrom folder KNOPPIX to C:\
Now C:\KNOPPIX is your cdrom
extract 2 files from boot.img - vmlinux and miniroot.gz - to for ex. C:\knxboot
then add to your slackware /etc/lilo.conf the following paragraph
image=/mnt/hda1/knxboot/vmlinuz
label=knx-vfat
read-only
initrd=/mnt/hda1/knxboot/miniroot.gz
append="lang=es floppyconfig ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=791 nomce quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix"
in a console terminal run
lilo -v
reboot
there would be a new line in your lilo boot menu (knx-vfat)
I have no idea how to extract those files in Linux or Windows.Please some more help ?Originally Posted by oscar
Normaly you can find lilo.conf in /etc/lilo.conf
But you should know what you are doing
See:
http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/LILO.html
or on your PC /src/usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/LILO....
(or so..)
Don't make a new lilo.conf, you must use your existing
one and add Knoppix. After this start lilo.

I meant extracting these files boot.img - vmlinux and miniroot.gz in the hardisk using Linux or Windows.Any help in how to accomplish extracting these files ? Is there any special command in Linux or any program in Windows to do this ?
Thanks
2 posibilities:
- you create a boot floppy and copy them from fd
- you mount boot.img -o loopback

hi,Originally Posted by fm78
The boot.img is a floppy image
Look into the cdrom. There is a folder with the rawrite tool.
run
rawrite a:\ boot.img (to create a floopy)
Then grab files from floppy.
In windows you may use winimage.
