TRANSFER THE CD BOOT TO HDD

[Marius Croitoru]

I WANT TO TRANSFER THE ENTIRE CONTENT OF THE INSTALATION DISC TO THE HDD. AND THE BOOT. THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM. THE BOOT.

I WANT TO USE A SMALL 2GB DRIVE TO BOOT TO KNOPPIX.

OF COURSE, I DO NOT DARE TO HOPE THAT I COULD ALTER THE ALLREADY MADE STRUCTURE, TO MAKE THEM WRITABLE,... BUT I WANT TO SPEED UP THE BOOT PROCCES, AND TO FREE THE CDROM DRIVE.

PLEASE HELP.

Very easy. I wrote a how-to, using the CD only to get the boot code, but using the image on HD. That way, you can take the CD out once Knoppix starts loading from HD (and it's faster too). Others have offered suggestions on how to eliminate the CD altogether. http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11856
