I suppose you are speaking about this Wiki and the method ISO install to HD.Have followed the wiki info verbatim..
Please tell us the menuentry you've append within '/etc/grub.d/40_custom'.
Hi,
Have been trying to do a frugal install thru menu.lst (grub legacy)
or a loopback install thru grub.cfg (grub2).
Have followed the wiki info verbatim for other Knoppix iso's to
no avail. This is the runtimelivecd.iso which is a Knoppix system
recovery disc. Used the isolinux.cfg as boot parameters to no
avail and also some other boot parameters (bootfrom=) on both
grub and grub2. No go.
Error messages include cannot find KNOPPIX on /isos/runtimelivecd.iso
and Searching for Runtime Live cannot find.
Like it's looking for a CD drive and can't find it tho boot parameters
give the iso location.
So, rather than throwing dice at my grub.cfg all day long I need to ask.
For a grub.cfg loopback what is the proper stanza for this iso ? menu.lst
is also a possibility but my flash drive has grub2 on it and that would be great
if a loopback in there with grub.cfg completed boot OK then.
thanks in advance.
Patrick

Yes, that is the main source for info.
Here are 2 stanzas I tried before giving up. And thanks for the response.
Code:menuentry "KNOPPIX LOOPBACK" { echo Please Wait insmod loopback loopback loop /isos/runtimelivecd.iso linux (loop)/boot/isolinux/linux iso_filename=/isos/runtimelivecd.iso myconfig=/mnt ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en apm=power-off initrd=minirt.gz nomce libata.force=noncq hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 loglevel=1 noswap tz=localtime debug initrd (loop)/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz } menuentry "Knoppix Runtime" { echo Please Wait # set root=(hd0,1) loopback loop /isos/runtimelivecd.iso linux (loop)/boot/isolinux/linux root=(loop) toram bootfrom=/dev/sdb1/isos/runtimelivecd.iso initrd (loop)/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz }
If the ISO had a loopback.cfg file I could boot it with this line:
configfile /boot/grub/loopback.cfg
So easy but it doesn't.
If you've really read this Wiki, why doesn't you use the example there for the menuentry within '/etc/grub.d/40_custom'? The examples you've posted cannot work.
Delete the blue part, insert the red part.Code:menuentry "KNOPPIX LOOPBACK" { echo Please Wait insmod loopback loopback loop (hd1,1)/isos/runtimelivecd.iso linux (loop)/boot/isolinux/linux bootfrom=/dev/sdb1/isos/runtimelivecd.iso iso_filename=/isos/runtimelivecd.iso myconfig=/mnt ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en apm=power-off >initrd=minirt.gz< nomce libata.force=noncq hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 loglevel=1 noswap tz=localtime debug initrd (loop)/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz }

No go, wish I could say otherwise.
My loopback and frugal install syntax keeps getting a result where it says that
Cannot read Knoppix from dir from iso /dev/sdb1/isos/runtimelivecd.iso (or similar message)
I'm tempted to say my flash drive needs to be FAT32, this one is a linux filesystem.
Anyway, here's the actual iso location, no rush at all, if ever you can get a loopback or frugal
install stanza to work for grub2 let me know.
Thanks for taking a look, have a good one.

The description in the Wiki is tested for origin Knoppix version. If you use a modified Knoppix, you may seek help by the these people which created this CD. And it's a bad joke, it they wrote: "We do not provide support for the Runtime Live CD,"
If you are using a 'commercial product', then it is possible that the iso is damaged.link to commercial software deleted
This can be determined by doing a checksum comparison, like md5sum if this has been
included in what you have received.
If you have no such checksum, then one avenue you might consider is downloading a
new iso and checksum from a Knoppix site or mirror. This would require a reasonably
fast internet connection, but is otherwise free.
Knoppix mirrors are listed at:
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html
The latest version is the Knoppix 7.4.2 DVD.
I usually use the ftp site:
ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix/
There is not usually any recovery from a bad iso except getting a replacement.
Good Luck & HTH.
Well it's a free linux iso with their driveimageXML wine'd into it.
Thought I'd recommend it here to some people.
The md5's check out OK btw, just a weird iso that needs a full install then.
thanks for the response.
