I found this information on booting linux on a USB drive, however it does not address Knoppix and it did not work for me using a Knoppix cd

The flonix boot disk will recognize a "live" knoppix image on sda1, surely its possible to modify that one to look for an actual install instead of the compressed root. I also would be very interested in this as I have successfully installed knoppix to my USB thumbdrive, but can't boot it. Hope this helps.

I had a thought but haven't tested it yet. Flonix is based on Knoppix and is bootable from usb devices. What if we installed knoppix like usual to a usb device then copy the flonix miniroot.gz file (and maybe syslinux.cfg
and vmlinuz) to the usb device and use the program flonix uses to make the drive bootable (syslinux)? Might work if there aren't too many differences between the 2. If I get a chance I might try it this weekend...
check out this thread http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...463&highlight=
You should be able to use the Knoppix CD to boot and then 'pivot' the root to your USB HDD.
HTT, post back with your results...
Getting back to this topic after a long long time...
It seems the pivot root method has worked for many. However, it seems the cd cant be ejected (cant use cdrom for other purpose like read/write).
I remember someone mentioned that a boot loader small cdrom can be extracted from the original CD ... just enough to load and boot it from the USB HDD, much like a BIOs. But not sure how as I cant remember the details. Any ideas?
Thanks!
