    Boot floppy for Knoppix

    I have installed Knoppix on a HD with David McNab's excellent Installation procedure, and it all works very well indeed.

    However while I was doing this the boof floppy procedure failed (perhaps the floppy was faulty - though it formatted OK with no faults later).

    I can find no item in the menus of either the Knoppix or the Debian screens for creating a boot floppy from within the installation.

    Can someone point me the way. I am probably blind.

    See if mkbootdisk is installed. That's what redhat uses.
    For info try: man mkbootdisk

    You might try using another floppy. They often go bad. A simple way to make a boot floppy while booted from Knoppix is simply to copy and past the following command into a Konsole shell:

    Code:
    dd if=/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
