Can I use Lilo to boot knoppix from hard disk ??

[oscar]

Hello oscar !

I want to copy Knoppix cd in vfat harddisk and then boot knoppix from there using Lilo. Can it be done ?

yes, this works:
copy cdrom folder KNOPPIX to C:\
Now C:\KNOPPIX is your cdrom
extract 2 files from boot.img - vmlinux and miniroot.gz - to for ex. C:\knxboot

then add to your slackware /etc/lilo.conf the following paragraph


image=/mnt/hda1/knxboot/vmlinuz
label=knx-vfat
read-only
initrd=/mnt/hda1/knxboot/miniroot.gz
append="lang=es floppyconfig ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=791 nomce quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix"


in a console terminal run
lilo -v

reboot
there would be a new line in your lilo boot menu (knx-vfat)
