Hi, knp:

Thanks for the feedback regarding the approach described in the post #5. I'm neither a computer guru nor being always on the same channel as others... Additionally, from my viewpoint, the mentioned approach is merely a temporary measure to boot up KNOPPIX (in general) using the matching version of bootonly.iso because the versatility of this approach relies on the capability of the bootloader installed on the device. At the moment, the EFI counterpart of memdisk used for loading the bootonly.iso is yet to be implemented and thus this method has no use for computers having no BIOS support. By the way, thanks for bringing this idea up, so that I can get my KNOPPIX DVD archives organised.

the Knoppix menu function, flash-knoppix, in Knoppix 7.6, will use a dd operation
to prepare other additional LiveDVDs &/or LiveUSBs using hybrid isos as sources.

If the DVD of KNOPPIX 7.6.0 is being referred to, the output of fdisk doesn't show that the DVD is of an isohybrid image.

Despite I haven't tried out the installation of KNOPPIX 7.6.0 using the built-in flash-knoppix command, I don't see why installing KNOPPIX in this fashion is hampered so long as the computer is able to be booted up via BIOS routine, the primary bootloader to load the bootonly.iso file to the ram and the DVD iso file to be on a different device than the target. Just to be on the safe side, the bootonly.iso file used for booting the currently running KNOPPIX is also on a different device than the target.
