the CDROM. So I had to wait for the timeout but I was happy.

Now with Knoppix 3.4 there is no timeout. It just does not boot from the CDROM at all.
The only way to force a CDROM boot was to use the boot.img from 3.3 CD to
create a boot floppy. (Why does 3.4 not contain this boot.img ??)

Now the system boots from the floppy which then invokes the CDROM and KNOPPIX 3.4 starts to bootup.

Ok, I can live with that.

With 3.3 it was possible to do "knoppix floppyconfig"
With 3.4 it is not so simple to do "knoppix floppyconfig" because:
1. The boot floppy is full with all it boot files.
2. So I have to have a second floppy with the floppyconfig data.
3. But then I have to swap the boot floppy with the 2nd floppy when I see the 3.4 "boot:" prompt.
4. This is not easy because the boot prompt itself does not have a long timeout. So if I am late then I have to reboot.

Any suggestions on how I can still do a floppyconfig or something similar without these gymnastics?

I do not have USB ports or hard disks on this computer.
Sounds like fun I would hit the F2 key when you get to the opening screen then you have all the time in the world to switch floppies and type in the cheat code.
