won't it be better to use an USB CF reader or thumb drive which is basically the same thing ? I don't know if generic USB CF reader are bootable though.
I am not sure if somebody has tried it this
1. Use a compactflash to PCMCIA adpater
2. Use a GB microdrive (COMPACT FLASH type II)
3. Is it possible to make it bootable ? (I know BIOS doen't provide boot from PCMCIA option )
3.1 If standalone then great,it will be faster than CD and probably we may not need to use RAMDRIVE for whole knoppix (any expert?), also this drive will be writable (what a relief)
3.3 If "GRUB" or other bootloader can use boot from PCMCIA (they can do from PCMCIA based network card ,isn't it? using network boot) then we will need a floppy boot and parameters to take boot instruction from PCMCIA microdrive?
Is this feasible?

If USA based Micdrodrive can be booted that will be great. Have any body tried with USB Hardisk?Do BIOS recogines it as hard disk?
Using a CF reader from USB - see the below link:
