How do I get NTFS to boot with Knoppix 3.4 and a 2.4.27 kernel?
Does grubd.zip even work with Knoppix 3.4?

I am also working on an automatic installer that edits your boot.ini or autoexec.bat and determines what version of the initrd (vfat or ntfs) you need for Windows. So far, the vfat and grub parts are mostly done. (I am stuck on the ntfs problem.)
It will be as easy to use as clicking on a .exe. I'll be sure to post a link when I'm finished!

Grub3.zip will only work with knoppix 3.4 kernel 2.6 (not the 2.4). And Grubd.zip will work with knoppix 3.6 and 3.7 using kernels 2.4 and 2.6. So I have nothing at this time for knoppix 3.4 and kernel 2.4. But does it still make sense to work on that since we are currently testing knoppix 3.8 ?
About your program there is already such a tool on sourceforge called wingrub: http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/
I am not sure this a good or bad news for you... but be assured that I really apreciate your efforts.

Thanks for clearing that up -
BTW I have already seen/used Wingrub, however the program I am working on is specially designed for Knoppix.
I will use the 2.6 kernel instead for my program and as for my own remaster, it runs the 2.4.27 kernel so your Knoppix 3.6 initrd works great with a few small changes. ;) Thanks for all the help!
Sincerely,

PS: I'll tell you when I finish the autoinstall app.
