    How to test my customized Knoppix without burning it

    Hi guys
    I'd like to test my customized Knoppix without burning it .
    How can I do it?
    I've just read that I've to make a boot floppy with:
    dd if=boot.img of=/dev/floppy
    but I'm using Knoppix 3.6 and I've not the file boot.img.
    How can I make this boot floppy?

    thank you very much

    Easiest way: do a 'poorman's install' of the stock Knoppix from the CD then replace the 'KNOPPIX' file in the poorman's with your customized 'KNOPPIX' file.

    Let's say your new image is new-knoppix.iso
    • # mkdir /test-new
      # mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop new-knoppix.iso /test-new
    Look through /test-new to make sure everything is there and in the right place.
    • # umount /test-new
    You can also do a test run with your burner. For example,
    • # cdrecord -v -dummy dev=0,0,0 new-knoppix.iso
    using your own dev= (which you can find with # cdrecord -scanbus). The -v option tells it to be verbose (describe what it's doing) and -dummy says to not turn on the laser.

    If you get buffer underrun errors, you can try again with a slower speed or with the burnfree option set, if it's available in your burner and drive.
    • # cdrecord -v -dummy -driveropts=burnfree speed=8 dev=0,0,0 new-knoppix.iso
    Enjoy!

    Thank you very much
    I'll try a poorman's install.
    I didn't think to this simple solution
    The simplest solution is the best too.

    Then I'll try "cdrecord -v -dummy..." before burning it.

    Thank you both very much
