hi folks,
i have burn the iso to cd, change my bios boot cd first, but knoppix didn`t start.
so i try to copy boot.img to floppy, but the file is to big (1,4 MB) floppy(fast formated 1,38 MB). so i use mkfloppy file, creating the boot floppy.
Jippiiiii success, but when i start knoppix, i always get the text mode, cause on cd is no knoppix filesystem.
thats what the error message said to me.
so i look on cd, saw a txt file and a packed iso file.
seems to be right, right?
is there anybody who had an idea?
thanx

i`ve copy the iso in the wrong way.
for everybody with the same problem here is a hint:
2. How to burn KNOPPIX on CD

2.1 Image-Type

KNOPPIX_Vxxxxxxxxxx.iso -files are ISO-Images, wich are using "El
Torito"-Specification (http://www.phoenix.com/PlatSS/PDFs/specs-cdrom.pdf).
In the ISO-Image there are not only the user-data, there are also
Informations about the structure of the CD.
If you want to see the structure, have a look at IsoBuster
(http://www.IsoBuster.com).

2.2 Burning

To get the image-file on CD use RAW-Mode of your burning-software (have a
look at Bild 1 WinOnCD German Edition).

Select the KNOPPIX_Vxxxxxxxxx.iso as filename of the image.
Select 2048 Bytes/Sector as the correct data format (see Bild 2 WinOnCD
German Edition).

Burn your CD as a "Single Session CD" or select finalize.
The Mode "Disk at once" or "Track at once" should be irrelevant for a
data-CD (have a look at the Online-Help of your burning software).

That's it, i hope it helps.
