− | In computing, [[booting]] is a process that starts operating systems when the user turns on a computer system. The origin of the word may be from the wild west in America. The image of a cowboy pulling himself up by his [[booting | bootstraps]] after a long night drinking is the usual idea. You may also hear [[booting]] refered to as [[booting |bootstraping]] for this very reason. The computer is trying to pull itself up by its [[booting | bootstartaps]].

− | At the [[syslinux bootprompt]], a user can type one or more [[Cheat Codes]]. The additional [[Cheat Codes|codes]] alter the default boot sequence. After the [[Cheat Codes]] are entered the Enter key is used to start the [[booting|bootstraping]] process. If the default options are OK, then the user can press Enter without typing [[Cheat Codes]]. For example, the default keyboard in the German version of [[knoppix]] is great for German speaking individuals. This person would hit the Enter key to take the defaults and starte [[knoppix]]. Howwever, an English speaking person would type

− | =Different methods of boot=
| + | |
− | ->here we describe methods that can boot knoppix as it was on cd (iso or cloop(KNOPPIX))
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | why not booting the usual way:
| + | |
− | ->some people do not have the cd writer
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ->some people do not have a dvd writer and want to use the dvd-image
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ->faster on hdd(more free ram and the hdd is normaly faster than a cd/dvd drive)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ->can use the cd-rom/dvd-rom drive
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ->consume less power on laptops(hdd consume less than cd)
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | limits:
| + | |
− | as it boots from hd... there are several issues with:
| + | |
− | ->partitioning
| + | |
− | ->fsck of the partition where reside the knoppix image
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | it differs from the hd install
| + | |
− | ==CD/dvd based bootloader==
| + | |
− | ->use the cd in order to boot an iso image
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ==Hdd based boot loader==
| + | |
− | ->boot from the hd
| + | |
− | ===On Linux system===
| + | |
− | this method is caled "linux" because it needs
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ->grub,lilo or another linux bootloader installed
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ->a filesystem readeable by grub/lilo/others (ext2/reiserfs...)
