1GB pen drive w/knoppix image boots but cant start linux...
Ahhh crap... I almost had it... I knew it was too good to be true.
Here is what I did.
Target: Lexar JumpDrive 1GB.
Used latest Syslinux 3.01 to setup...
Used mkdiskimage scripts as suggested.... AND IT TOOK A LONG flippling time to do whatever
it did...
Syslinux installed the ldlinux.sys correctly..
Then...
Booted with 3.7 CD and copied THE WHOLE THING onto the jump drive.
/boot
/knoppix
etc.
I copied the stuff from isolinux into the root but that did nothing...
I believe syslinux needs a *.bs file?? because I use syslinux and
not isolinux.
I am not the most swift linux person so I am not sure how to make
the corrections. This Knoppix thing needs a usbkey setup. (Now that
usb key prices are dropping)
I want to behave just like the cd.. but on the jump drive.
BTW... the usb key drive prices are falling... the 1GB I got only cost $79 with
a $20 mail in rebate.

I dont know if this will be of any interest to you guys.
I have a lexar 1GB flash drive.
From syslinux I used the mkdiskimage script and then did
syslinux as described in the readme.usbkey.
(the script took a REALLY long time too)
I booted into 3.7 knoppix. Copied all the directories
onto the key. Then copied the contents of the /boot dir into
the root dir. I renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
I had some problems because syslinux did not like the minirt24.gz file.
I booted to a windows box and unzipped the minirt24.gz into miniroot.img
and *BLAMMO* it booted knoppix!
Just like the cd... I did have to fuss with the bios boot order..
