Once the KNOPPIX image is booting, its faster than the CD boot. Also, if you're using a boot floppy, loadlin is a lot faster to.
Works for me at least!

This post for A. Jorge Garcia or anyone who can offer a solution;
At last, after battling all day, I have managed to get Knoppix to run off the hardrive and it will run off any of these batch files:
loadlin.exe vmlinuz lang=e initrd=miniroot.gz load_ramdisk=1 init=/etc/init hdc=ide-scsi vga=791
or:
loadlin.exe vmlinuz lang=e initrd=miniroot.gz quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix
The problem being that the programme loads in German. Elsewhere in this thread someone had the same problem but no-one answered
Finally how can I get it to read my config files which are stored on another partition?
Can you help please?

Did you use the file boot-en.img when extracting vmlinuz and miniroot.gz?

loadlin.exe vmlinuz
lang=e initrd=miniroot.gz load_ramdisk=1 init=/etc/init hdc=ide-scsi vga=791
or:
loadlin.exe vmlinuz
lang=e initrd=miniroot.gz quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix
if these are your batch files I believe the language entry should be: lang=en

I also had this German GUI problem. Also I do not have boot-en.img because the ISO file I downloaded was EN.(-as in English version 3.2.)
My solution is to rearrange the batch file so that the lang=en or lang=us comes after init=/etc/init or
"loadlin.exe vmlinuz init=/etc/init lang=us vga=788 xmodule=fbdev initrd=miniroot.gz quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix"
Seems the order of the batch file is significant
note that I reduced the resolution to 800x600(vga=78
Hope this helps

RockMumbles... what a stupid error on my part! "Bugger" as they say in Australia, I'm going back to the setup and try again.
Bongski55... I am going to try your .bat file as well
I'll post back with the results.
PS: Can anyone answer my question about getting the programme to read 'myconfig' files saved on a different partition?
Thanks to all for the replies.

I can access my files by clicking on the icons(shortcut) of the partitions on the desktop(hda0,hda1,hda2,hda3-I have 4 partitions). The contents are displayed by konqueror. Config files are opened by kwrite.
I am not sure what you really mean by "on a different partition".

Bongski55 and RockMumbles... thanks for the batch files... they both work famously.

Ok... my post was badly worded. I have on my system hda1, hdb1, hdb5, and hdb6.
When I make changes to the Knoppix sytem I go to the Knoppix entry in the Start menu and I sellect Configure/Save Configuration. This gives me the options of what I want saved and the nect requester gives me 'where' I want to save it.
I always save to 'hdb6'. When I start Knoppix from the CD at the boot prompt I type 'knoppix myconfig=scan' and when it boots it finds all the settings and I'm ready to go.
I now have Knoppix saved to my HD and by using the knoppix.bat file (also gleaned from this site) I would like to be able to access the same configuration so that when I boot into the HD version everything will be as I set it up in the saved configuration.

Batch file for boot prompt?
I think what you want is to be able to display the boot prompt. Perhaps a modified batch file can do this.Have not tried this and I am not sure it would work because of the loadlin.exe. I think loadlin is programmed to go through the boot process without going thru the boot prompt?
Any comments?
