ISO boot from FAT/NTFS/USB (GRUB.exe, grldr from boot.ini)

[ruymbeke]

Hello,
Please find below the link to a zip file which contains everything you need to
patch Knoppix 7.0.2 live at boot time and add both ntfs 3g and 64 bits supports:
http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/k702_ntfs_3g_64.zip (59MB)
The 64 patch provides both 64 bits run-ntime support and 64 bits compilation (gcc) support.
As mentioned previously you may need to adjust the menu.lst to match your needs
especially if the Knoppix 7.0.2 dvd iso and the patch files are not located on sda1 partition
(for a usb dongle as an example) but on sda2 (as for the c:\ drive of Windows Vista or 7)
The included "64l" (l for light) cloop file does not include the Debian installation packages
nor the updated Debian repositories list (created by apt-get update) to keep the patch small.
http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/k702/64l (40MB)
If you like the full patch (including the Debian install packages and the repository lists)
please download the following "64" (without the l) cloop file (to be locates in the k702 folder)
and replace in the grub menu.lst the string "64l" by "64" (please do not rename the file).

Hope this helps and please provide some feedback...
Best Regards,
Gilles

PS: The 64[l] cloop patch file only union with the Knoppix file system if a 64 bits kernel is detected.
The grub menu.lst detects if the machine is 64 bits capable and default the boot option accordingly.
The installation has been done following the instructions provided by Klaus (cf: /bin/_64 script):

You can check the 64 bits setup using the command: "_64 check" from a Linux shell console.
The folder \opt\test64\pi_quick_start.tgz contains a pi benchmark (with the "gmp" high precision
math library) which can be used to test the 64 bits gcc compile and 64 bits run time execution.
Unpack the content, go in the unpacked folder and run ./start.sh
