When attempting to mount the miniroot's , remember to gunzip the .gz first before attempting to mount with -o loop.
gunzip mini24.gz
mount -o loop mini24 /mnt
good luk
I'm getting that too, but i followed the first set of instructions in this thread; i think it might be might be a 3.7 thing. I'm downloading 3.6 now, but i won't be able to finish it today.I followed pbs's instructions, I see the main KNOPPIX boot screen (the one where we enter cheatcodes) but it is stuck there. I can not input anything; F2 and F3 doesn't work.If you're in Linux, you can mount the .iso image as a filesystem, if you're in windows you can mount it with something like daemon tools (Google it).is it possible to do this whole preparation without burning CD?

maybe we can do some clear step by step info how to do that?
Exact same problem. I had a success with Knoppix 3.6 using the instructions I posted earlier in this thread.Originally Posted by NamShub
No luck with 3.7 (using my instructions) or 3.8.1 (using pbs's instructions, minus the part about modifying minirt.gz)
OK! Turns out I was using syslinux-3.0.7. Switching to syslinux-2.11 for theOriginally Posted by jbreiden
"./syslinux /dev/sda1" step, everything works. I don't know what's different
between the two versions of syslinux (it isn't mbr.bin; that didn't change)
but it makes the difference.
This is on the 1Ghz EPIA MS motherboard from VIA, booting from
the onboard compact flash drive. It's kind of slow (about one megabyte
per second read speed) from the Kingston "Elite Pro" 1GB compact flash card.
But there's no moving parts anywhere, so I'm happy.
Final note: I skipped mucking about with minirt.gz and just use a cheatcode
on the command line. Very simple.
knoppix bootfrom=/dev/sda1
i recently bought a 1gb usb drive, and i want to make knoppix 3.8.1 on that usb..
any points/tips would be really nice..
