**Tea_Fiend** · 06-23-2004, 05:29 PM

If the 3.5 DVD kit is only avbailable at LinuxTag, is there any way thaty those of us who can't get there can get hold of a copy? I'd rather have that than download 3.4.

1) Did someone successfully have boot knoppix from the ISO file image ?
If yes how ? The cheat code bootfrom=/dev/hda1/*.iso did not work for me.

2) Did someone successfully have boot knoppix from a NTFS partition
having in its root either the loopback file /knoppix/knoppix or the iso file?
If yes how ? I tried to add the ntfs.o and add some debug in the linuxrc in the miniroot.gz
but it still doesn't work and I cannot figure it out yet ...
Please advise, Thanks...

You need WMware (windows or linux)or MS Virtual PC (windows only)

I already know and use vmware on an other systrem.
But I need to run knooppix on a stand alone system without cdrom and without changing the mbr nor the single ntfs partition. Using grub4all I can boot the kernel and ramdisk from the xp ntfs boot loader but knoppix cannot access properly the ntfs file system to continue the boot...
