changing "well come to knoppix" at start of boot p

hello there,

i am customising knoppix live cd(version 3.7), i want to change the well come banner-"Well come to KnoppixCD" -that will be shown at the start of booting the cd. i found that this phrase is present in minirt24.gz etc. i tried to change this phrase after gunziping and again i gziped and made the iso and burnt it to cd, but while booting, after boot splash image it is showing an error-Kernel panic- Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,3). so i am very much greatfull if any one knows about this and reply me.

You need to gzip it using "gzip -9 minirt". Other than that, it sounds like you are doing this correctly. You might want to install qemu, so that you can test your ISOs without burning them.

any way thanks again for ur kind information.

I have other problem with that in Knoppix 4.0.2; here's how I trying to do this:

after I "unchroot" from an unpacked iso file, I gunzip minirt.gz; after editing welcoming message with mc, gzip it again with gzip minirt or gzip -9 minirt, then I run mkisofs with some parameters, that are in tutotial on wiki

when booting up, after first title screen, changed welcome message is there, but second line is:
