    Making a bootfloppy??

    Hello,

    I found this artikel on this site:
    1.4. Run Microsoft Windows, copy Knoppix to HD & make it bootable with bootmedia

    Also called "poormans install"

    NOTE: The partition (i.e. drive) that you are copying to (the D partition in the example below) must be a fat32 partition. If it is NTFS, the install will not boot.

    * Copy the CD:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX file to HD:\KNOPPIX\
    o E:\KNOPPIX\>mkdir D:\KNOPPIX
    * E:\KNOPPIX\>copy KNOPPIX D:\KNOPPIX\

    1 files(s) copied

    * Make the bootfloppy. Start "mkfloppy.bat" on the CD in the KNOPPIX folder.
    o E:\KNOPPIX\>mkfloppy
    * Boot from the floppy or the USB keydrive (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/keydrive) You need a BIOS (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS) that can boot from Floppy (all) or from keydrive (USB-ZIP option). It should scan for the KNOPPIX file and find it on the harddisk.
    * Enjoy
    But I can't find a mkfloppy.bat on F:\KNOPPIX
    and yes, F is my cdrom drive

    Go to Google, find Smart Boot Manager and downlooad the DOS based installer to let you make one floppy that will let you boot any biootable cd.
