At the beginning KNOPPIX displays logo in framebuffer (file logo.16 from boot.img) and
message: "Welcome to KNOPPIX Linux live on CD" (or something like this). I have two questions:
1. why the image displays even if I delete file logo.16?
2. How to change the message "Welcome..."?
thanks in advance

I think you are confusing two different things.
the file logo.16 is displayed to the screen at the very begining of the boot proccess, and it is a large rectangle taking most of your screen, with the bottom saying something like :
KNOPPIX 06/06/2003 www.knopper.com
boot:
(IIRC :) )
now, after that screen is gone you see a penguin sitting at the top of the screen, and under it the text : "Welcome to the KNOPPIX live Linux-On-CD" (with KNOPPIX shown in various colors).
this text is diplayed by the file linuxrc, wich is found inside miniroot.gz inside boot.img
the image is no-where to be found, and I suspect is embedded inside the kernel (can any of you confirm or deny that?)
I can confirm that...Quote:

unzip it, then mount it (it's an ext2 I think)
inside it edit the file linuxrc, umount miniroot, and re-gzip it
It seems like I'm too lame even to mount a file...:Quote:

But: 1) fs i OK, in KNOPPIX documentation, everywhere in the web, I found this
command with ext2 specified; 2) there are no special options (except loop, but
this is mandatory in this case); 3) there are no other loop mounted file systems (but I tried
also on other loops: 0..7);
4) I have no clue what this problem with bad superblock means, maybe this is the point.
Maybe some of you had the same problem?

Here's what I did...
Log onto your Linux box as root, then...
1.) gunzip miniroot.gz
2.) mount miniroot /pathtowherethe/minirootfileis -t ext2 -o loop=/dev/loop0
3.) vi linuxrc and then make your modfications
4.) umount mroot
5.) gzip -9 miniroot
stick it back into boot.img and off you go.....
It worked perfectly for me. Hope that helps.

OK, that's what I was doing before, but I fogot that I was trying to mount a file that I had
personally damaged few days ago :) Now everything is OK. Thanks and sorry for troubling.
