6.4.3 CD from iso

[benny59]

Hi Benny,

It always seem such a shame when someone asks for help and gets none but really you have to think more carefully about how to ask in a way that people reading your post will understand.

You should always start by stating which version of Knoppix you are using.

It's on the thread title

As far as I can tell, you cannot create a persistent image using Knoppix 6 running from CD/DVD. This is certainly true for 6.4.3.

Sorry I did not find it on LXDE menu. Can you tell me the path ? (even in terminal mode)

This has been discussed recently on the forums. It seems this cheatcode bootfrom= is not supported any more. See if http://www.knoppix.net/forum/threads...tcodes-instead is of any use to you.

Piety: I have been following Knoppix since its beginning. It has been the very innovative concept of LIVE CD. But nowadays CDs and DVDs are over and many distributions can be loaded on a USB drive (other than CDs and DVD) and multiboot is also popular. So I am a little disappointed that this cheatcode is not supported. It was a pioneer of ISO booting.

I understand very little of the rest of your post. I don't know grub4dos.

Grub4dos is a clever bootloader: it can map and boot ISO images IF distributions are built to handle their ISOs. Ultimately you can fit more ISOs on a DVD (or USB drive) and create a menu to fire the one you wish (may be specialized ISOs for rescue, developing, office, games....). For me Knoppix is very good as it can recognize Broadcom WIFI transceiver, fast in boot, and good choice of tools.

About persistency: I'd like to reserve ALSO a partition for this purpose (i.e. ubuntu based projects) like casper-rw or home-rw, so they can easily mounted.

I infer that when you boot the CD the screen does not go blank but when you boot from the USB it does. At a guess, you are not using the right cheat code. Try adding video=vga16fbff to your boot line. If that does not work, consult the cheat code txt file in the KNOPPIX directory on the CD or search the forms for "blank screen".
Ciao

I will try thanks ! Grazie
